Oh thank goodness,Dawn.
I was worried because I hadn't noticed that before. That is good news then.
I also just did an ammonia test and a nitrite test and I am in the clear.
:)
My three new Harlequin Rasbora's are looking happy and all ate their din dins. I should get them some new food. I am afraid mine is old and not varied enough. But,I didn't get the brine shrimp because I was afraid of over feeding. Now, that I have the tetra's I want them to have a healthy diet.
Thank you for you help regarding the Java Ferns. I am extra happy because I just recently added a Bolbitis Fern and I didn't (it sounds funny now knowing they are okay) want it to catch anything.lol.
