  They ran out, shipment was coming Thursday so i'm going back to get more, but thanks for the tip

Here's an idea to appease your nephew,    Take a picture of the "Car" online and print it, take it to a local print shop and have them laminate it (or print and laminate) leaving space around to keep the seal and the paper from getting wet. Have them use the thickest laminate they have, then you...

He's a handsome fellow!    Congrats on the little guy :)    Keep us posted on his adventures

This is all great info about the Cory's I ended up buying 4 Black Neon Tetras today, they are super cute! Will get 3 more :) Lots to think about, I'll hold off on the Cory's. I'm going to a huge fish store in a couple days so maybe I'll find something exciting there.

Ya. The Angels will be graduated into a larger tank once I have the space. The plan when I buy my home this year is to build a new tank. Sizing will be determined by the size of the home but I'm thinking anywhere from 55-125gal My tank I have, even tho it is long, is fortunately 18.5" in...

      Yea, i'm happy they are doing well! Such beautiful animals, i'm excited to see their little personalities.   Hopefully the rest of the Cardinals will be ok, i hear they are finicky little things.   You guys think that some Peppered Cory's would be good tank mates for the Angels? I hear yes...

Hey guys/gals.. I actually raised the temp on the tank a couple days ago to just under 80 degrees (77-78) and since then they have been motoring all around the tank. I lost 1 Cardinal yesterday for an unknown reason so I'm taking him back to Petsmart to get another. I lost three in total since...

This is all great advice, thank you. Unfortunately the 55gal won't come into play until May when I move. As for adding Angels in larger shoals, I just realized that after purchasing the two angels I have. Hopefully hey will be fine until I can move them into their permanent home. Since I...

Thanks Hobby, yes I know the tank is a bit too small for them however they will be there for a short period until I get my 55gal :)

I tested my tap water and got the following results: Gh - 180 Kh - 80 Ph - 7.5 So my hardness is pretty high right out of the tap. Thank for the info on the Hex disease and ways to soften my tank. I was looking into getting live plants but my lighting isn't the best and I didn't want to do...

Hey Akasha, I checked my readings this morning and this is what I got. API Strip Kit: Gh - 120-180 Kh - 120-180 Ph - 7-7.5 API Liquid Test kit: High PH - 7.8-8.0 Low PH - 7.6 Unfortunately I don't have a liquid Gh, Kh test kit to get proper readings. The substrate im using is pool sand...

Thank you Mark :)

  Yea, thought about getting 5 Peppered Cory's as well, have to pck and choose based on my stocking capability   Thanks for the tip :)

Here is the FTS     I tried taking off the black background, perhaps it was creating shadows and spooking them or they think there are other fish in the tank due to the reflection.
