A new day’s ‘QT’

Thanks @Cale24

 

You should add some cherry barbs in here

 

It’s my QT tank though, for realsies
I have one smaller Q tub still running for nano fish but need this one to be available for future quarantine

 

You can always set up another tank

 

Hahaha

 

Starting to wonder if they might be lamb chops and not harlequins? What do you all think?

PS yes today is tank day/ forum update day

 

Thanks @HugBug and @Amakawa !
@Cale24 said the same thing

 

I have a school of about 14 pencil fish in QT. Was so happy to find them, I bought the whole lot. They’ll grow out and colour up a bit more.

First time I’ve seen them in person and find their schooling and swimming behaviour fascinating! Quite outgoing also.

Edit: I suspect they’re golden aka Beckford’s pencil fish

 

Thanks! They’re destined for the jungle tank I think.

 

Nice to have something unusual in your tank

 

Thank you!

 

Awesome

 

The pencil fish are in the jungle tank and I now have 2 juvie SAEs in quarantine. This is probably good because I see some black brush algae - mainly on the buces but also on filter and wood.

Once out of QT one will go to the 1,5m and one to the jungle tank. The SAE in the jungle tank is old & big and not doing such a great job at eating BBA anymore. The old SAE in the 1,5m has already passed away.
