i tried feeding my bloodworms but they are too big so gonna have to chop them up

The blood worms are more for the shrimp but i have seen the fish take bites of them...

Here's some pics of mine! I don't have pics of the new batch, but these are from Tim's first order a few months ago. They've gotten very chunky on NLS grow and a frozen spirulina-mysis mix! (pardon the BBA... I'm still fighting it )

Just took some pictures of the Bororas in my 56 gallon tank. Their are about 40 or so in this tank. They have split off into small groups. This is the group that hangs out at the top of the tank where you can see them. The other groups mainly stay in the plants.

Their are a few pictures of the other critters in the tank.... Red Claw Macro Shrimp, Cherry Shrimp....

Wow Nick... that looks amazing! The moss looks gorgeous. Do you trim it like crazy, or how do you get it to grow like that? Nice.

I haven't trimmed it in a long time. But I did trim it so it was all the same length. Now it just grows like that...

Well it's stunning. I remember when it looked like when you were just starting off. A great testament to a low tech planted tank!! Sometimes less is more.
