Update time. A mad one!
The tank really is above and below water now and there's some serious plant porn happening. So 2 days ago I did my tank maintenance and while I was at it I added my peace Lillie and palour palm from my small indoor water garden that the lucky bamboo came from. I changed the led over to my aqua one aspire 130 led and I think the lighting now looks better without the blue in it. Also gave the glass a real good cleaning. So here's some pics to start things off.

The Buce got un rooted so I wedged it into the roots hanging down, its been 2 days and what's poking above the water hasn't went crispy yet. Fingers crossed.

The madness started shortly after doing all that, my partners waters broke! So off she went to the hospital to confirm it actually was her waters braking. I stayed at home to get my son Jacob to sleep and then 3hrs later I got a phone call waking me up, saying the kraken has been unleashed and get to hospital right now. Fast-forward a wee bit and its 1.43am and baby Isaac is here! The midwives were worried because after every contraction Isaacs heartbeat dropped a lot, then all of a sudden he's here! Sucks that he needs to stay in hospital for 48hrs. Looks like I'll be taking more days off work now. Ah well that's just life.
Over the past few days I've been having some right good ideas. Shame I cant act on them because I've been having some troubles in my fancy goldfish tank. Nothing bad like disease, just breeding behaviour. Basically Blink my big female is getting harassed to much by my Black moor. Its been this way for months and Blink just doesn't seem interested and won't drop any eggs. So for the sake of her health and so she can chill out more I'm separating my fancys into 2 pairs. That's means finally getting my aqua one aspire 130 out of its box. I'll need to buy some filtration and since I've been impressed with the Asap filter on this tank, I'm going to get its bigger brother and some Esha fish health booster mainly for Blink but I'll also try it out in this tank.
Plant porn! Man this crypt bullosa is on fire.

I like to name my character fish so I've named my DTHM betta Aloofy. I did say I fancied getting some Heranda Formosa to finish off the fishy side of things. Now I'm imagining some sort of other show fish that can match the betta. I would love a paradise fish but I'm sure it would make short work of my betta. Been thinking something along the lines of a single Apistogramma Nijsseni or Panduro. Not sure yet but I would love some suggestions. I like the name Bazooky for whatever this fish is.
I did want to add more pics but it keeps messing up so I'll try again some other time. Take it easy.
Cheers.
