Yes I did - it actually isnt in the title, it is in the description and it has been like that right from the beginning

I did really enjoy the leporinus; I had 3 of them. They started out about an inch - two inches long and ended up around 5 or 6 before they started eating fins and killed an irredesent shark. They found themself a new home very soon after that.

I have plastic plants in mine cuz real ones dont last a week with my fish. I must say the silk ones look much more realistic then plastic... I may have to try that out! I love it tho, looks great!

I used to have two little tanks... one or two gallons. At one point in one of them I have 5 fish or so. Few Daninos and a couple other little gold barbs or something. Those fish lived for about a year and a half, two years in that tank. I had so much luck with it I went and bought my 29...

Looks great! I wish my tank would get a slow leak so I can run out and get the new tank I want! haha Right now my reason of want isn't good enuf to buy a new tank :(

If they start to get too big (bigger then the 80 gallon) I will find them a new home, the LFS I deal with is always willing to find fish new places to live. There is also a restraunt in town with a huge tank... dont know how big but its bigger then my bath tub! They always take fish. The...

Yah I know :| Thankfully they grow slow. They have been in there two years now and have only grown a couple inches. The Parrots will get very large as well, I have my eye on an 80 gallon tank! It is so beauitful, it is a coner tank with a bowed front! One day....

Just thought I would share... the pics are old and some of those fish have found themselves new homes because they were mean. Currently I have: 2 x Blood Parrots [Spike and Petrie] 2 x Iridescent Sharks [Hover and Nitro] 1 x Gold Sevrum [Lime] 1 x Pictus Cat [Dill...... Pickle]

I was a little worrid this morning cuz the power went out in the middle of the night but when I checked the tank the water looked perfect :) Looks like I worrid for nothing! There is a lot of hand prints and water marks on the outside glass and I was told to never use windex to clean it... any...

Here are the test results: PH - 6.8-7.0 (soooo close to 7.0 but not quite) Ammonia - 0 ppm Nitrite - 0 ppm Nitrate - 5 And the water is almost crystal clear now. I wouldnt even say its milky anymore just not as clear as it usually is after a fresh water change.

I understand what you saying and I know everything your saying and everything posted in those link. My LFS is extremely knowledgeable and has taught me very well. Like I said I even hired a professional recommend to be by the store (the guy who was supposed to do from the store was killed in...

No worries, I understand what you saying now. I will leave it for a few days and see what happens. Normally I would do a water change, but like I said cuz I just replaced all the water yesterday I don't want to do it too soon. We had a bit of trouble getting the tank set back up cuz our floor...

I just dont understand... a water changed caused it, because I added too much fresh water at once... why would I add more fresh water... wouldnt that make it worse? And why would I vaccume the gravel when I just did it yesterday? I mean this all just doesnt make sense to me. And about this...

It said in that article to not do that....

Okay so according to that (I did a search) the bacterica bloom was caused by me changing the water ... or adding a full tank of new water in that case: To clear the tank and to keep it clear, we must control the amount of nutrients in the water. In the case of a new tank or water change, we...
