24th Month – (Carrot Feeding Frenzy) NO filter, NO CO2, NO Ferts 5 Gallon Nano Tank

This is 24th month update. Loomster is a sparkling gourami. Loomster continued to hide a lot throughout this month. I noticed he comes out in the morning more often than other times. I usually film in the evening, so it’s harder catch him doing his usual thing. The carrot was boiled for quite a long time to make it very soft. I didn’t know carrots took that long to boil to make it soft.

I’m still in the process of moving. I think my next video will be at least in 3 weeks or so. I really pushed to get this video out. Hope you like it.

I always appreciate the love and support from you all. I didn’t know so many people would show this much love and support for this little channel.
