Alec's 40gal breeder chronicles!

Man I hope so... Im going to be so disappointed if I don't see him tomorrow I checked thoroughly around my tank to make sure he didn't jump.. tomorrow Im going to make a screen lid I know they are jumpers.

 

He was only in there for a few hours.. could he have found a spot that fast? and I didn't really move much around just what got messed up from catching the other fish..

 

Oh I thought you had a fish already for a while and then couldn't find it. Don't be worried though, you probably just spooked him a bit.

You could also check your overflow to see if it jumped into there.

 

Checkkked the overflow I bet Aw is right.. probably just sleepin in the sand I hope

 

haha. You've got me beat. Better hope Aw knows best!

 

I did the shrooms careful they spread like crazy!

 

Those mushrooms are great, I really like the red and blue ones. I have never been able to make them grow into a garden. Congrats, I hope they grow and spreed quickly for you.

 

Thanks corailline I hope so too! My favorite is this bright orange one I got yesterday! Hard to see in the crappy pic, I can't wait till they expand all the way! Only thing I've really worried about, it the torch right there on the rock. It was like the first coral I got, before I came up with the whole shroom rock idea. It's gone from 1 mouth to 2 since I've gotten it, so as it gets bigger I might have to try and get it off there to avoid sweepers. We'll see though!

 

I have always found this image to be so inspiring, it's what I would have hoped my mushroom garden looked like. Never happened though.

Gahh.. That is amazing. So what do you mean it never happened though? You never got the mushrooms, or they didn't make it?
