O.k., Thanks. I thought it had something to do with the urine from the reptiles getting into the caulk.

Why can't a reptile tank be used for fish?

OMGosh...I thought you needed advice. MY BAD :blink:

Do you really think CandyCoated has that kind of patience?

That's gonna be too much change for the fish that are already in there, but it's your tank. You will probably end up with more sick fish. Remember, you need to do very subtle changes so as not to freak your fish out.

I've purchased 3 of the females and have been given a couple from friends.

O.K., thanks for your help.
