Good Morning Big Rich. I love story time and learning OFR history. Rock on. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@lizlilliman3644]

I love this tank. When my disability meant I couldn't keep up with the upkeep of the tank, my fish went to our local fish shop. The owner kept several.for himself as he was impressed with the size and health of them. I had a leaf fish (was my favorite) scats, (my husband loved them) and clown loaches. We had a Chinese algae eater but we had to get rid of him as he was a bully and would attack my fish.

[@charliechoo73]

Poor koi he was a beautiful fish Big Rich ! Thats one stunning community tank. Such diverse fish in there and all get along. Isn't the scat called the poor man's discus as well ? Does the African arrowana still hide out during the day as we hardly see it. Let's hope the parts for the salt water tank get there as I can't wait to see it completed.

Rich, honest question..... Do you ever have days when you think to yourself "why did i do this" & wish you'd never started the rescue, at least to the extent it is at now? Or no regrets?

Yes of course. With all the responsibilities with Tracy and also hardly sleeping. It does get overwhelming. But if I quit. Nobody will take over and do as much good in the world that we do. So I just keep climbing that hill. And dredge forward. :)

[@Shaden0040]

The first fish is a Ctenapoma an anabantid fish from west africa, also known as a leaf fish.

[@patrickforget5088]

You get a scrub brush on like a pole and scrub some of that algae off of that I think a stiff scrub brush would work and you wouldn't even have to get in the tank you'd have it on a stick or a pole that cracks me up they're totally the opposite of the cichlids the cichlids follow you and the community tank they run from you

Would it work to put some of the smaller bristlenose plecos or the smaller ones in the community tank to work on some of the algae?

[@BrooklynHudson]

I didn't know that a saltwater fish could acclimate to fresh water. I'm assuming it's not ideal, but very interesting. Those tanks are a showpiece, for sure.

[@treebiscuitgecko]

Scats live in brackish/fresh water as youngsters and generally move to salt water (in the wild) as they mature. I've never seen one that big in 100% fresh water.

[@Selkie28]

Your basic Mollies from pet stores are the same way. They live in brackish water naturally but can be acclimated to salt or freshwater tanks 🙂

[@JaneAmericanIrish777]

Rich just jump ahead of the plastic pieces. You can look up the size and predrill the holes. If you need to expand you can do it when you get them. Paint the board black now so you don't have to do later. Move the sunbed now . It will cut time .If you wait for things it won't get done. If time is a problem because we all know your caring for Tracy also. So you can get a volunteer to start painting and get some people to move the bed . I'm looking forward to see it all in place. I guess the Lizard is dead. 😑 Get some snails and others to work on the Algae. Maybe some that get big...If tge otger fish don't eat them. Some chicken wire under your bridge to stop the big fish from swimming up that way . That's sad it died.😔

No we still spot him. He just runs from us. And we can't move the tanning bed till the saltwater tank is out of the way and also can't move it till rodrigo comes znd picks up his rays.

Since the DH tank will end up as a deep water tank with a modest footprint, would a Lake Tanganyika species theme make sense? 'Scape it up with some tiers and place *some* of your younger frontosa collection in there plus get some shell dwellers for the bottom level. I'm sure there will be ideas for top level swimmers too. Some of these Tanked builds were too deep and narrow for owners to ever clean properly. Their telephone booth tank comes to mind. And the DH is basically an up-sized phone booth shape. Since there are no plants to worry about, have you thought about some apple snails for the 1800g to control algae? Beware, they are a double-edged sword. They can be impossible to get rid of if you should change your mind but are big enough to not all become instant fish food.

[@OhioFishRescue-com]

Yes on the apple snails, I would love that, the Dwight Howard tank is 10 foot long 4 foot tall. And 4 foot from front to back

[@puirYorick]

Big rich, you are right. Plecoes are way over-rated as algae eaters. Definitely do not live up to its stated reputation. However, in tanks with gravel or substrate, plecoes do stir up or move the gravel enough to prevent excessive growth of algae. But on their own, plecoes are not great algae eaters as compared to the waste/poop that they produce.
