Growing Pains

The molly frys are still thriving in the planted tank so much so that the "bigger" molly frys is starting to bully their smaller brothers/sisters. I occasionally see a few of these bigger frys hogging the worm feeder in the tank. Good thing that the tiger endlers are still bigger than them and still get their share of the juicy worms.

I actually wanted to get a small pleco (a.k.a. sucker fish) for the planted tank to clean up the algae and also the left over food from the feedings but I read that the plecos tend to "destroy" the plants and sometimes up-rooting them. An alternate method was to use small shrimps for the house keeping instead and that was exactly what I did ... got 6 little red cherry shrimps from someone on the net (which turned out to be an ex-school mate of mine). The cherry shrimps are still hiding for the moment but hopefully, they will be up to the housekeeping job ... only time will tell.
