Thanks, Greg! Marlin sure does love this nem... and the nem seems to handle Marlin's rough lovin' much better than the LTA did. Every day that goes by makes me more certain that it died from the stress of Marlin's attention.
The BTA has grown, I think. Either that, or he has moved out from the rock some. I'm not sure about that because there still seems to be the same amount of him in the cave as there was before, and now there's a lot more outside of the cave. I'm gonna have to keep a close eye on him... I may have to tell my hubby that he just HAS to get me a bigger tank to put the nem into! :twisted:
there ya go that is one way to hit him up for a bigger tank :D. also how is the xenia doing. that stuff looked like it was growing pretty darn quick as well?
Oh yeah, the xenia is growing like mad. I put two rocks next to the colony for them to spread onto ... I can keep the forrest to a minumum and get some credit at my LFS. My turbo snail (big oaf that he is) knocked one of the little rocks over and caused a landslide. Three rocks were connected by the xenia, and down they all went. The poor xenia had some places that were stretched out several inches. I went ahead and cut them and moved the small rock over where the base is flatter. The xenia was quite stressed at first, but it has already recovered and grown about 1/2" taller!
If anybody wants some xenia I'd be happy to share! :D
