This species, Trichopsis Pumila, aka the or , was added to my fish tank about 2 weeks ago due to my compulsive buying at .ca. There was 1 left at that time, and I got it after a quick check about their maximum size, the feeding requirements, and the ideal water parameters. So I met another beautiful nano fish that can live happily in my small tank. ๐Ÿค—

I was worried that the fish might be too shy and timid but quickly found out that was not the case at all. It keeps itself busy all the time, and it goes every tiny space between plants all the way from the bottom to the top. It neither cares about the other 6 dwarf rasboras nor 3 amano shrimp. Eats well, not by competing with the others but by finding the sinking or floating around food.

This fish (yet to known male or female) presents a unique blue hue, especially the eyes and near the gills. The gleaming light blue is easily detectable. It's growing noticeablely (thanks to brine shrimp) and is coloring up nicely. Really, the problem here is my old phone camera...that I am refusing to change to the new device that was gifted months ago. ๐Ÿ˜…

Because I liked this fish so much, I've decided to make my new tank for more of them. After the tiger lotus sprouts, I will get more sparkling gourami and possibly a couple of pygmy corydoras.

Lastly, why showing from ? The look of this bushy pot makes me smile. I planted it in my new tank except 1 stem to propagate in my nursery. That one pot was enough for all. ๐Ÿ’š

It's finally done after dragging for months! Because I keep the same scaped tank for 5+ years at the least.

Plant species used are

I'm very happy with .eco wetland substrate that I previously used in my planted betta tank. So, I repurchased Dark Artist and Midnight Sand to use them in this tank. The large size lava boulders gave me the main inspiration for the aquascape. The roundness and tumbled texture of these rocks comfort me. ๐Ÿ˜Œ Other than 3 small rocks that I had to place on top of wood branches to keep them in place (because I forgot to waterlog them), the tank is all set. Thanks to the sludge from my 9 YO mature tank and the , the tank water became crystal clear within 2 days.

Wanna know what will reside in this tank? My next post will give you an idea of what animal(s) will go in the tank. ๐Ÿค—
