Macro spawn

Well it turns out my fish like to work against me!

I had planned a 20 gallon divided build for one pair of the macs.Patiently awaiting the arrival of certain materials to get the ball rolling so to speak.

On the 16th of Feb. my sand arrived from a good friend.This stuff is awesome.Its black blasting sand and the size is perfect for plants to dig their roots into.Its pretty lightweight and the eggs of fish will settle on the top no fall through.As it turns out that sand is what I had been waiting on the most in order to make any real progress on the tank.

Turns out that also on the 16th,my macs decided to spawn as well!What timing huh!Well as per their norm I decided that I would set up the tank anyhow as usually they swallow by day four.So thought that gave me a few extra days to get it how i wanted.

This is day eight!Very exciting as they have never made it this far!As per the suggestion of another owner of macs and the person whom my lovely male came from,I slowly dipped the net in the tank today and ever so slowly snatched the female up!She is now hanging out with me in the living room,on her side of the 20 long.She seems to be pretty happy so far,though I am sure she misses the male a little.

I hope he is enjoying his peace and quiet!
