I moved Sky's NPT 127 miles today with no bad occurrences! The water didn't even get that badly murky.
He's VERY skittish right now (as usual, but especially so) so he won't let me get any good pictures of him. The water is probably too murky anyway. Can't see his blue at all! He's exploring a lot, though. Maybe this re-introduction to his tank will stop his tailbiting, at least temporarily. He's getting some cory cat buddies soon. Probably tomorrow!!! Excitedddd. I hope he takes to it well. He's never shown any signs of aggression to his shrimp or his snails, so I think he'll be okay.
Pictures commence!
Floating in a red cup. He gets to float with a plant because he's shy
He has a nice spot next to my desk now. And the plants will get a little bit of natural light now! There was NONE before. I'm looking forward to seeing the effects of harder water and natural light on the plants. That's a south-facing window, so there's never direct sunlight through it because of that and the angle of the building. It's perfect!
I ended up buying a $20 coffee table from Wal-Mart to put him on. I covered it with plastic and a folded up sheet so no water will get through to the particle board (it is lacquered, but I want to be as safe as possible). I also have an old computer with old text books stacked on top of it underneath the table, to give extra support. XD
Yay Sky! I hope he lets me get better pictures tomorrow.
