Still slow. I think the ABNs are snackin' at night. lol
MarkWhat are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

Update:
Tonight I go to pick up my hillstream loaches. I'm getting two species; Sewellia lineolata and a gastromyzon species, not sure which until I see them.
I also went to the health food store and bought chlorella and spirulina. Then I went to Ken's fish and ordered 8oz of Repashy meat pie and 8oz of repashy Soilent green. I plan to mix freshly blanched spinach, skinned peas and kale with the above-mentioned ingredients in the food processor and put into mini ice cube trays. Once the gelatin sets, I'll freeze and thaw as needed. This food will be the staple for the hillstreams and eventual stiphodons.
After I get the hillstreams settled in QT I'll add some pics to this thread.

Well, I didn't get what I thought I was getting. Both species turned out to be gastromyzon. One type looks like G. scitulus and the other I'm not sure. It has subtle lines in stead of spots. They look healthy and quick. This morning they were nomming on some algae wafers... huge sigh of relief!

They eat constantly it seems like so if they stop eating and just hide something is wrong lolComment

OK, new developement...
Yesterday after work I noticed a new baby ABN, about 1/2" long. Crap! they spawned again! So I had to change my game plan. The hillstreams are now in the 125 and the daddy ABN, Mr. Stickerface, and around 50 fry are in the QT tank. On the upside, the hillstreams are running around nomming on every algae-covered surface of the tank. So much for having a well-thought-out plan... or at least what I considered a well-thought-out plan.
