First of all, since I moved Elijah back in with the other platys he's been eating more, and he's definitely more active. The guppies are happy to be rid of him too, I think.
Sadly Kathrine died about 2 weeks ago. She is the third platy I've lost, but none of those three were very healthy, and now the others have less chance of getting sick because of them.
Muddy has been eating most of his food recently, I have to break the discs up so they fit in his mouth, but I only found two little pieces of disc today while cleaning the tank, and I've been giving him 1 disc (3 pieces) every night before I turn off the tank lights. Pleco are nocturnal, but I've been seeing a lot more of him during the day now.
The most exciting thing happened today. I found a baby platy! It's the first baby platy I've found, and it's only a few days old I think! Kathrine died about 2 weeks ago, and none of the younger ones showed signs of being pregnant, but I don't think this baby is 2 weeks old, so it's a mystery!
I will be putting sand, and live plants in the 6.6 Gallon soon, with the baby I need plants ASAP, and sand a little later, when it's a little bigger and won't get trapped in the gravel I take out. This is going to be my fry tank, so I can't take it out and put it anywhere else, except with either 2 guppies, or a Betta, both of which would eat my baby, so that's not going to happen. I just have to hope that it survives on it's own with my 4 inch catfish, and 5 inch Gourami in the tank with it!
Well that's pretty much it. Still haven't gotten my 55 Gallon, but I should be getting it soon, I know I've said that in pretty much every post, but for real this time! :p
