🌊🐠 New little king settling into his kingdom 👑
A week ago he was hiding in the corner… now he’s exploring the whole tank, playing with the sand, and already begging for food 😂
Still cycling the tank slowly and carefully:
✅ Ammonia: 0
✅ Nitrate: 5
⚠️ Nitrite still showing 0.25
Keeping things simple:
* natural sand setup
* driftwood & stone
* pothos roots
* low stress environment
Thinking maybe 1–2 ghost shrimp soon for enrichment 🦐
It’s honestly amazing watching a tiny Flowerhorn slowly gain confidence and personality day by day. 🌱🐠

Little update from last post but ammonia after water change was still .25 so we did another 20% water change added fritz turbostart took out charcoal filtration and turned off uv light for 48 hours. See if we can get this thing to cycle properly! Day one and looks like we have signs of the dirty phase! Fish doing great still hungry as usual!
