[Smitty]

They look great! Nice and big eyed and endearingly stupid. After seeing your pic I def want some for mine....

 

[Smitty]

Thanks...yeah, they're a great open water swimmer and bring lots of life and movement to any tank.

 

[Grassman]

They look good Smitty!! Might think about some for the new tank.

 

[Smitty]

Everyone's getting along...

Smitty... What's the white stuff on top of the water in this pic I came downstairs to that same stuff on the top of the water... Could see it looking up in to the tank but when I stick my head in the canopy it looks fine...? Can't be that bad otherwise I know you wouldn't have it in your tank lol

 

[Smitty]

It's not bad...it's just proteins and oils, etc. It probably came from floating the bag, me placing my arm in the tank, turning the pump off, etc. You can get rid of it by rippling the water at the surface with a powerhead, and of course, a protein skimmer. If it gets too heavy at the top of your water, some people have tried placing a paper towel on the water surface to remove it also. :)

 

[Smitty]

Oh, and I forgot to mention, I didn't have my protein skimmer actually skimming the top of the water at that time, it was about 3-4 inches below the water surface, I've recently readjusted the intake, so that it could actually remove the film at the top of the water.

Now that's what happened to him...I've been looking for him, hopefully I can find the other one.

 

[Smitty]

What happened to him!?!? :shock:

 

[Smitty]

He heard me playing R.Kelly's "I believe I can fly"...and took the words to heart, lol. I found him dried up behind the stand.

 

[Waddi]

Lololol but sad. :(

Hahaha...we have a cat already, that's probably why I can't find the other one. :)

Naww, I like the open top look...I may just hold off on firefish for now.
