Some of you might remember that I was going to move Augustus into his own bowl because he was getting bullied by the 6 neons I put in his tank (the wuss! ). I did that 2 weeks ago... bought him a huge 2-gallon bowl and planted it quite thickly. He seemed startled for the first couple of days - sank to the bottom and wouldn't eat - then he started exploring and looking much happier and more interested and alert than I've ever seen him.

But I was astonished to discover this morning that he had constructed himself a bubble nest! He never made one before. Now he's bustling about, putting the finishing touches to it and patrolling round it proudly. It's a lovely thing to see - I'm really thrilled for him.

What a difference still water, lots of tall plants and no pesky neons can make!

sounds great emma, i was going to ask how the little guy was doing.
You should get some pics of his new home.

Congrats to You and Augustus Am very pleased he likes his des res! And how fab to have a bubble nest to nose at too! Well dun you!
