New Home for our Aquatic Friends

Just a few glimpses of last week's project to "upgrade" the environment for our four African cichlids. They moved from a 10 gallon tank to a 55 gallon tank. What rock and decorations used to fill the tank now look pitifully small, so the upgrade will continue for the forseable future.

Just getting started. Cleaning the gravel was hard work.

 Decorations in place; keep on filling those buckets.

 This poor critter was the impetus for the move. We think it has an infection known as fin rot. Hopefully the clean air water and open space will help it recover.
