WC done

I had three tank overflows but they were minor.

I looked at the multitudes of baby Angels in the 60 wide and wondered how they would manage all crammed in together until the 15th when I'll have a 120 and 60 wide available.  Then I remembered my 40 cube that had been sitting empty in front of my eyes for weeks waiting for a Discus pair to spawn.  But the two Discus pairs I moved to a 75 aren't interested in sex :'(  I scooped up two big nets full of kids and dumped them in the 40.  I feel better now.  I was having to do such huge daily WC on the crowded 60 that I was always afraid of sucking up kids in the process.

If push came to shove I could drag one inside.  I might even be able to get to fit but it would be damn cramped.  I have water storage barrels to age 150 more gallons for WC, too. I don't even know if I make or loose money on these fish that I get a buck a piece for from the wholesaler, given the bagging time and the 50 mile round trip.  It's not worth me investing in a larger air pump, and more heaters. 

I could do it if I wanted to but it would make my fish room more like a commercial operation and less like like a nice place to hang out.
