Subj : 7th Spawn Progress And Water Change

Today marks day #11 since Mama Mbuna spawned for the seventh time, since I
purchased her at our LFS in April of 2009. She has found a comfortable safe
haven amongst the rocks near the center of the tank, where -- for the most
part -- she has been able to escape the aggressive advances of the dominant
male. The surviving fry from her first six spawns continue to grow, and the
tank is looking quite populated.

Yesterday I also conducted a 15-gallon water change, which is over a third
of the tank's volume. I decided to only lower the water level to the top of
the rocks, as I didn't want to disturb Mama Mbuna too much. A few days ago I
also washed out the sponges in the Penguin 330 Bio-Wheel filters. I likewise
cleaned the algae from the front and side glass panes, and stirred up the
sand along the panes using my turkey baster.

All is well in Mbunaland.  :)
