Mid July 2026 Fish Tank Update

Total fish is 48 We bought our tank on April 11th,2026 Hubby took the ship out of the rank, decided he didn’t care for it, and is purchasing a decorative log and adding May 23rd- added two Balloon Molly females and two blue parrot cichlids.  We moved the 10 male fancy guppies into a second 10-gallon tank away from the females.  June 8, 2026 Purchased catfish and black neon tetras. We tried the neon tetras three times in the tank and had zero luck with them. But we do currently have 2 sole survivors that managed to stay alive so far.  June 10, 2026 Something in the fish tank is biting on the tetra's tail fins. We have not figured out who the culprit is- yet. Placed one tetra (tail-less) in the hospital tank for recovery. Did not survive! June 28, 2026 Added two Honey Gouramis to the fish tank family.  June 30, 2026 Found snail eggs and little white slivers gliding across the aquarium glass.  https://aquariumscience.org/10-13-3-planaria/  found  Rha...
