As far as being not recommended for newbies well I don't agree. I started with a 10 gallon and now have 3 nanos and am working on a 4th. I am going to ask the obvious what exactly are you water parameters? Seems rather odd you lost both fish within 24 hours without something being out of whack, one I might understand but 2 ?? _________ I was always taught to respect my elders, but it keeps getting harder to find one. Every morning is the dawn of a new error. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
