Think Fish Keepers Daily News [year 2020]

...and here we go again: the Fish Broodiness Alert level is now very much at its highest level (for some additional espeis). 

[It is also apparent that I need to get some more anyway - the male has become very territorial and thinks he occupies the entire left of the tank, sending the female to the other side, so ~4 more ought to help challenge his assumption and territoriality.]

Aw, sorry to read about this, Sue.    [Your pygmy/pygmies certainly did better than mine - I recall my final ones died in Sept 2015, none of them having made it to one year, so 4-5 years is a good life.]

Today's observations:
(1) Seachem Chlorella flakes (bought ages ago but only opened a few days ago) are very popular with cardinal tetras but not at all with espei rasboras;
(2) Nerite snails have good table manners : after lights-out time last night, I belatedly dropped in a Snail Stixx which missed the food pot but which I didn't want to move so as not to disturb the fish any further; by this morning, it had been pushed it into the foodpot and was being enjoyed by Mrs Snail.

...although they've also eaten their 'crockery'. I bought them a lovely bamboo foodpot a year or two ago, which they developed a fondness of 'cleaning', to such an extent that there are now holes in the bottom of it!
