Tourki spent four years in a ten gallon nano aquarium that&#8217;s running out of space. Recently added three mollies, two cory&#8217;s, and oops, a common pleco. The algae problem was solved by the plecostomus. Now I&#8217;ve learned the common pleco is supposed to get large.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2>Glofish inspired:<\/h2>\n<p><!-- \/wp:post-content --><br><!-- wp:image {\"id\":3047,\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\"} --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3047\" src=\"http:\/\/essn.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/glofish.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"357\" height=\"204\"><\/figure>\n<p><!-- \/wp:image --><br><!-- wp:preformatted --><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-preformatted\">I&#8217;ve owned a few aquariums before. Simply gave up over time consumption, expense, as well as heart-felt human error. The bubble-eye goldfish was a most friendly favorite pet. Nevertheless, we live and learn from mistakes.

Molly babies, simply a nano tank to raise the offspring. It&#8217;ll be simple and situated where a child can be observed. Two months ago my granddaughter got into the gecko vivarium at 3 am. She grabbed Brisco. He bit her finger, lost his tail, the cat was in on it. The tail&#8217;s growing back nicely. Lesson learned!

My ship &#8216;ll come in eventually. Simply looking forward to a bathroom renovation project being completed in the future. Live is great! Enjoy your day!<\/p>\n<h1>Update<\/h1>\n<p>I&#8217;ve purchased a hexagon twenty gallon nano tank from PetSmart. Waited two weeks to figure out what to do with it. Hexagon aquarium stands are all unavailable. Even if they was plentiful, I seriously doubt I could afford one. Then three days ago as I was prepping for a power nap it dawned on me. The sturdy open shelf Ro&#8217; made years ago is perfect.<\/p>\n<p>The pleco probably killed the pretty sailfin mollies. The local pet store gave me a discount for an exchange. Here&#8217;s the progress. Tourquois the glofish survivor and the two cory catfish are thriving. There&#8217;s eggs on the glass. Perhaps we will get some fish babies eventually.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/wW4HqznI9Us\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Decisions, deciding on a nano aquarium or a larger tank for these pets.
