Description: This is 20th month update. Loomster is a sparkling gourami. The lid’s been off this entire month b/c of the temps. The higher temps cause the plants to grow like crazy. Loomster started to hunt the shrimp. He’s been croaking more often at the tuxedo guppies during the night. The guppies didn’t stand a chance. I had my doubts when I bought the guppies, but I didn’t think it would be this bad. Loomster has claimed the entire tank and the one guppy that was left would not come out from hiding. I felt so bad for the guppies. Some say if it happened to you, it’s your fault.
