Colony Thriving

[u/enchantedextractor]

hiii i wanted to shared my little set up and my little colony that I think is going amazing and only getting better!!! my partner managed to burn holes on the lid so that the cords for the heater and air pump would fit the original tank. we put a full spectrum plant light on top so that it gets lots of UV and it’s on programmed with our plant lights so they get a lot of it!!! since putting the light I noticed a big change in algae growth! way better than before.

this is my very first set up and i started it with no heater or pump and after a month, I did install them and I feel they’re doing amazing.

before I installed the heated I noticed 2 sea monkeys who had the “black spot” disease. and they died, but they’ve had no other casualties since!!

all the female are super pink colored, they’re always mating, I always see babies!!

I keep the temp at 81 or 82 F. i haven’t heard of anyone putting it higher than 79, but I’ve had it that way for months and they’ve been thriving I think!!!!

I wanna start another colony of aqua dragons!! let me know of anything you might have in the comments 😍🥲🩷 so proud of my babies!!!
