    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

    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.

    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 ;D

    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..... :eek:

    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.
