Hi all,

Just checking back in...

The 75 gallon is doing well ..

To date i have:
2 Platty's (orange w/ black tails)
2 Mollys (Orange)
2 Corydoras
2 Harlequin Rasbora's
2 Gouramis
6 Neon Tetra's

What a differance a few fish make....
I really like the Gouramis , and plan to get more...
as well as a few more rasbora's , I like the way the stay from mid to top of tank...

The cats are cool to plundering for scraps on the bottom....

I want to thank all whom replied to help me understand all of this.
And the links were helpfull too..

Ill keep in touch....
TTYL

What are your tank readings at as of now?

&&Right now I'm in the middle of a conversion from reef to Discus/ planted aquarium. Hair algae beat me down. Maybe a nano in the future. Everything screwed up so I'm converting to FOWLR. Wish me luck.

Thats a nice looking tank. You also have a great selection of fish. I love the fact that you have a big tank with smaller fish. I never got to set on up like that I always got a big tank specifically to keep larger fish. Good luck your off to a great start.

Save a fishes life! Do some reseach before you buy your next fish.

Just added in the Gallery ...Took Pictures not 10 minutes ago..


The reason I went with smaller fish was so I could have More of them

I just wanted the tank to always be busy with something moving around....So far so good.....At first I just had a few Neon tetra's ...they stayed in one spot ...untill I added more fish now they dont stay still ..lol..

I will be adding more in a few weeks ....need to let the tank accept the last 10 i put in.....

You have to pick up some guppies. Tell your local store you want Delta Guppies or Tequila Sunrise Guppies. Don't drink so don't know if I spelled Tequila correctly. Then you need to pick up some Rainbowfish.
