Steve 34 - 29G Bio Update Thread

Here we go again.

 

We're still running. Changed out a LOT of my livestock, well more precisely got rid of it.

Two additions are the tiger tail cucumber and short spined urchin (That's why there is algae everywhere, I don't scrap it anywhere but the front glass).

First pic is the tank straight on

Second pic is actually a picture of my thriving pod population, just to the right of the paly you can see one about the size of a poodle.

third pic is my urchin "Nuffin" (named by a three year old, "What are you looking at?", "Nuffin".)

Fourth, pardon the purple but the cucumber is in the pic.

Fifth, my leather, started out tiny, looking great.

 

Nice little critter tank you have going there.

I do not believe I have ever seen a pod that big in a tank.

Nuffin seems more than appropriate, very cute

 

Thank you.

If I have nothing else going right lately my pods are healthy and HUGE.

Some of them are bigger than 1/3 of an inch.

Oh and I forgot two of my favorites recently put in Sexy Shrimp.

 

Nice looking critters, the leather looks good

 

Female clown loving some gsp.... PS you get bonus points if you can spot all the creatures in the pic.

 

2 clowns
gsp
sexy shrimp
2 snails ( astrea and nerite)

Tanks looking very nice too btw!!

 

Thanks!

I didn't even realize I had a sexy shrimp in the pic until after I uploaded it lol

 

is that 2 mandarins a 6line and a occy?

those are all big pod eaters, especially the 6line and mandarin goby's. how are they all doing? i would really love to add a mandarin goby and a 6line and a yellow clown goby but i wouldnt be sure they would all get along. i have a 10g fuge on my 29g biocube so there WOULD be a safe place for pods. but at the same time if i can get them to eat flakes daily then i shouldnt have any problems i wouldnt think

 

I had one mandarin for a short while, tried pod farming in a separate tank and even was able to train it to eat frozen but the upkeep was too much and I gave it back to the pets store.

A few months ago I went through a major purge of my tank got rid of almost all of the corals, the coral banded shrimp and all of the fish except the two clowns.

I wanted to lower the bioload and simplify the tank.
