I got it from a fishy fish store (no pun intended). He wouldn't eat from day one, but I assumed it was because of the params not being perfect... you think he was just sick from the get go? | |

Don't get any Damsel but a yellow tailed blue one . They stay small and are not aggressive as many like the 3 strip are. And the parameters had nothing to do with it .. And not much to feed any ways I feed mine so little during the cycling process it hunts for food. _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |
