Yesterday I bought the latest addition to my aquarium. I got 10 Khuli loaches. They hide a lot, like is their nature as they are nocturnal animals but as far as I can see are adapting well. They are the second type of fish in the tank now, but I already have 10 Zebra danios.
Here is a picture of the Khuli loaches while still in the bags before being let free in the tank.
Now I am really going to need to get some snail eaters …. that is after I have got some algae eaters. By now I have tons of snails I didn’t want but they are eating algae, so not totally horrible.
Algae of different types are growing in the tank and the snails help to keep it down …. for now.
About 10 days ago I added the first fishes to my aquarium. 10 Zebra Danios have now been doing well in the tank. No problems as of yet. Only curious issue was that before I fed them few hours after I put them in their new home almost all snails vanished. I was happy with that as I don’t like snails and those came with some of my plants. Until I get fishes to clean the algae then I have to tolerate them but when that is done, some snail killers/controllers will be added.
Next step is to see if I can get some Hillstream loaches and then later on Zebra loaches or Clown loaches. Hopefully I will be able to fully stack the aquarium by end of November, but it depends on if any problems come up as I add fishes.
I have just set up a new 300 litre tall aquarium and it is still cycling. Lot left to do in it but this is how it looks with just some plants in it. Hopefully within a week or two I can add some fish.
Maybe now as the new school year will soon start then might be worth starting up blogging again. I used to blog a lot over a decade ago. As before the blog will focus on my key hobby, aquariums and its inhabitants. I will also blog about my life, my profession (English Teacher in a public school in Sofia) and other things that give me content to write about.
