I'm still busy with fish tanks and puppies, mostly.  I 3 BN and 3 mystery snails to the planted Discus tank.  I added the sacrificial lamb Discus to the tank yesterday.  Despite the cloudiness of the water it's still not floating.  As soon as I can get the tank to clear a little more I'll add the adults that I want to live there and put the little guy back with the other younger ones where he was happy.

Oh, I almost forgot the most important thing!  I found 3 baby snots in the rainbow fish tank!  Two brown white tipped and 1 regular brown one.  I have an albino male in one of Barb's long caves fanning and one Brown male who dug a cave in the gravel under one of Barb's round caves fanning.  Seems like they've be in their "nests" for quite a long time.

I did another huge WC and the tank got fairly clear.  I added the Discus.  They were freaked at first because they are adults and had never seen a plant nor gravel their entire lives.  They hid and turned dark but then started exploring and got a lot of their color back.  They're still not happy in there and the tank is still a bit cloudy even though I have changed a ton of water and have 2 magnum 250's running.

I don't want to take a pic until the water is clear and the discus look comfortable.  If the Discus aren't comfortable in a week I'll put them back in a BB.  I have no clue what I'll put in that tank if I have to put the Discus back into a bare bottom.  IMO the tank looks pretty good.
