I love all the positive comments around here... makes a gal want to stay, ask questions, etc. in an environment where she wont be judged so harshly on her first day....
I cycled my tank for almost a month before i put fish in I check my water daily. Haven't done a water change since I put them in 2.5 weeks ago and they seem perfect. I planned on doing a 75 percent water change at the one month mark take everything out scrub it and vaccum my gravel
I understand what your saying and thanks for your input but as previously stated he wasn't in the best condition when I got him and has improved tremendosly in his new home (for now) unless he acts like hes unhappy or uncomfortable (for now) he stays.
I appreciate your feedback Byron, I'm going to keep them for now. They seem happy, and I don't actually know if the platies are gonna give birth or if they are just fat and sassy. When the time comes I will do what is required for the well being of the fish, because that's what it's all about...
As far as the pleco goes I will do what is necessary when the time comes. And I'm not going to stress myself out about the platies until they give birth.
