[Mizu]

[Mizu]

Any idea how old he might be? anyone?

 

[DocFrye]

A little off-topic, but I am wondering how long his tank has been cycling? It appears to have a bloom of diatoms.

 

[Mizu]

Wow day 2 great now are you keeping him in a 55 galllon tank or a 75 gallon.

 

[Mizu]

75 Gallon with 35 gallon under stand sump.

Oddly enough that shot where he is coppying the color you can see a bunch of white sand around him that was red like everythign else then he buried himself up to his eyes in it. I didnt even know they did that

 

[DocFrye]

They are small algae that usually bloom early in a tanks set up. The brownish red stuff you have coating your sand, rocks, etc appear to be diatoms.

A google search will give a lot more info - I did not know whether or not I should include specific links to other sites.
