I had this posted in the Deals forum, but I thought it maybe more appropriate here.
This is Fred, he's estimated to be about 24 years old.
I am his 3rd or 4th owner. For most of his life he was living in a cramped 20 gallon tank.
This year I decided to upgrade to a 50 gallon tank
- Before
It was looking a bit bare, so I added some silk plants from a craft store zip tied to large river rocks.
- After
For some reason, Fred stopped eating every fish I put in his tank. Now he also has fish tankmates and soon some real plants.
