Well, I finally put Copper..(still have to give this guy a proper name)..in a REAL home ! He's been floating in a bowl in the 10 gallon divided ever since I got him. Waiting for his fins to heal up and also didn't want to put him in that tank with all the problems the others were having with thier fins in there.
I put him in the 5 gallon divided. I did have 3 of my fry in that tank..but I took 2 out and removed one of the dividers. So Copper has the bigger part of the tank and my prize baby has the other smaller part.
That tank has some florite substrata under the smooth stones and 1 very healthy looking live sword plant...3 silk plants and one logtype cave thing on Copper's side of the tank...boy, was he ever happy when I put him in there!! After sulking in a bowl for about 2 months...he blew the biggest bubble nest I've ever seen! He's also started to tear up his fins swimming through the sword plant :rolleyes: ..but I'm not going to worry about it. They're small tears and I'm sure he'll be fine. I don't have the heart to bowl him up again, he'd probably die of a broken heart if I did...lol.
Today when I came home from work...I took a peek at him and he came right over to the side and poofed up all his fins and gave me one of those.."Boy, I love you" stares...oO(yeah right! lol)...he sure is cute. :love: (my new Fave..can you tell)
