Happy New Year – I hope you’re having a great holiday season.
Things have been pretty slow around here lately, because we have a beautiful, healthy baby girl.
The fish have been on the back burner lately.
We did end up getting some half black guppies from Aquabid before our daughter was born, and for some reason only one adult survived, but we still have about 6 fry.
I’m really not sure what happened with the adults.
We have cut back on the fish tanks drastically, although we are still keeping space open for some dwarf puffers, if I ever find any healthy ones.
How is your fish keeping going?
Got any new or exciting fish, fry, spawns, or fish equipment?
Are you looking for anything in particular?

I was talking to a friend yesterday and he asked what I was doing to mitigate the risk of plastics breaking down and affecting the fish.
I said I hadn’t even thought about it. I guess I am so confused about the plastics and the dangers to humans I did not even think about it for the fish.
I make my own R/O water and keep it overnight in a plastic trash can not even thinking about the dangers.
The water does not stay in the python long enough to cause any danger from what I understand, plus the python is made of food grade plastics.
However some plastics that have been marketed as food grade in the past are now on the danger list.
So I thought I would ask what everyone else is doing, if anything to stop or lessen the risk?

Figure 8 Puffer - 8-ball
We try to feed our fish a variety of foods, and after winning a ton of different kinds of fish foods at the Aquarium Show we’ve got more fish food than we’ll ever need.
I try not to feed the bettas freeze dried foods, and if I feed them to the other fish I try to soak them in water first so that they won’t swell after the fish eat them.
We feed flakes, shrimp pellets, algae tablets, floating pellets, sinking pellets, and of course fry food.
We also feed 8-ball, our figure 8 puffer snails and krill, and we feed the fry baby brine shrimp – we always have extra of that, so we feed it to all of the fish.
The harlequin rasboras really love it, and it’s fun to see them chasing after it, and turning a very intense red.
What do you feed your fish?
What do they seem to enjoy eating the most?

I stole this from the forums, but I figured that it was a good enough topic that I’d post it here.
We had a pair of German Rams lay eggs last night, the angelfish looked like they were getting ready to spawn, and we have about three bristlenose pleco fry 
What’s going on in your fish tanks?
