Slight Changes

The spirit moved me today, so I took on a project that I had been wanting to do for a long while now! In short, I took down Astrid and Silvia’s tanks and gave them a divided 10 gallon and I also moved my 20 gallon onto one of my stands I hadn’t been using. I’m thinking about selling the 3.5 gallons, but I’m not entirely sure yet what I want to do with them. Mom seemed interested in them, so maybe she’ll get a betta someday. Anyway, here’s the end result!

Astrid

I wasn’t sure if I wanted to do this change at first because old lady Astrid is nearing 2 1/2 years of age and is going blind due to cataracts, but I figured it would be a much comfier space for her to live out the rest of her life in. I was very gentile with her and made sure that she got all of her decor from her old tank so she would still mostly know her whereabouts, despite being partially blind.

Silvia

On the other hand, I’ve been anxious to give Silvia this upgrade. The 3.5 gallon was okay for her when she was tiny, but now that she’s getting bigger, I wanted to give her at least 5 gallons. She absolutely loves it!

Before & After

I still do love the 3.5 gallon tanks, but I’m not big on acrylic since it’s so easy to scratch, I much prefer glass.

Anyway, they’re both very happy with their little upgrade and I am as well! It’ll look much better once I get more tannins in.
