I did something I didn't think I'd ever do... I handed in some ~200 #guppies (most of my lines) and some ~2kg of #aquarium #moss to my LFS in exchange for #cichlids.

My plan going ahead is to focus first and foremost on larger species, keep just 6 large tanks with minimal maintenance instead of 28 small breeders that need daily work.

I'm also determined to switch my aquarium #plants focus to "minimal-work" #bucephalandra with possibly a small selection of other #rareplants.

Last week I donated the pond fish (#medaka, #whiteclouds, and #notropis), today I donated the last batch of the tropical microfish (#sundadanio, #tetras) project. All that's left at home now are #guppies, #angelfish, #ancistrus, keyhole #cichlids, #corydoras and the old #kuhli loaches.

i'm not getting more corys or loaches; but they aren't disturbing any fish or eating fry so they get to stay.

will consolidate to just guppies, ancistrus, and #shrimp (neos) going forward. and my rare #plants :)

Mayan Cichlid (Mayaheros urophthalmus) spotted at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve, Singapore on 27 Dec 2024. The Mayan Cichlid is native to the Americas and probably introduced here via the aquarium trade.
