21st Month – (Cabbage Feeding Frenzy) NO filter, NO CO2, NO Ferts 5 Gallon Nano Tank

Описание: This is 21st month update. Loomster is a sparkling gourami. And then, there was Loomster. He is the king of this tank. I haven’t seen him actually eat the shrimp, but he does nibble at them once in a while. But I’m pretty sure he eats the shrimplets. The cabbage, as usual, was boiled for around 10 minutes until it was very soft. There is another setup that I’m working on. I’m not sure when it’ll be ready. I might release the video before end of this month.

I’m always extremely grateful for your support. From bottom of my heart, thank you to those who have decided to support this little channel all this time.
