they're gone

well, the excitement is over. This morning, no wigglers or fry. Angelfish hanging around the tank looking unconcerned (although they did seem to be looking in the area now and then),

kuhlis swarming around under the anubias. They are nearly the same color as the driftwood- so very hard to see... I'm guessing they're to blame.

My youngest is sad- she really wanted to see baby angels in the tank.

I did a partial wc this afternoon, and rinsed out one of the filter sponges. Angels went pale and hid. Took a long time for them to come out of hiding when I was done, I coaxed them with a bit of food but M. Beautiful was still rather pale until I turned off the room lights. I really don't want to put the tetras back in there in case they do spawn again, but I hate seeing them skittish again, sigh. All their lovely warm hues are gone- just plain silvers now.
