33 update

I spent a lot of time cleaning out melted plant yuck today during water change. Had given Perry a round of kanaplex after the treatment with furan-2 was over. I can't tell if it did much good. The pale band across his head is less obvious, but not all the way gone.

The black spot that was on his dorsal fin is gone, but now there's a small pale thing by his lip, under left eye. It looks like a skin tag- I can't tell if it's an external parasite or just a tear still healing from when he battled Lady. And of course I haven't been able to get a closeup photo of it. Most of my efforts today ended up a blur because he zoomed up and down the front glass hoping I'd feed him.

He and Lady still faceoff either side of their barrier very frequently. Perry doesn't flare as avidly, but they both try to bite each other hard through the wall.

I've noticed an odd thing lately- Lady's tail appears to be growing longer

and the tips are faintly blue- you can barely see it in this picture. I wonder if it has something to do with the food- I've been giving them bits of the frozen food each day when the angels are full, and occasionally some of the cichlid grow flake...

Hm, well, here's how plant cleanup went. I removed a ton of melted, brown frogbit. Also the entire bottom half of each ludwigia stem had completely disintegrated leaves- I trimmed and replanted tops.

The bolbitis ferns are looking messy- there's a lot of dying-back foliage but it clings stubbornly to the rhizomes. I haven't taken the time to go in with scissors, yet- I just swiped through the fronds with siphon each time I'm doing a cleaning, and get some stuff out but not nearly all. However, there is still some green in there!

Vallisneria is definitely growing back, after its severe melt. But not really looking good yet.

One plant that doesn't seem bothered by much is the crypt becketti.

Also the buces are all doing fine, so I added another one out of the tetra's tank- it's just under this crypt becketti by the wall.

Windelov ferns are doing pretty much same as always- a few browning leaves which I remove each week, replaced by new ones growing out all the time...
