31. get as many opinions as you can if your in trouble. The first person to answer you or the one who gives the answer you wanted isn't always right. I tend to go with a bit of common sense and a majority vote!

37. Keep a fish planner. Get one of those small calendars and write in when filter media needs to be cleaned, when filters need to be completely cleaned, when a fish starts holding (pregnant) and when she gives birth. How old the fry are, etc. Great for those of us w/mts.
