    a 10 gallon isn't as small as you perceive it to be. ;)

    well, ya know what they say... "life isn't fair". Sorry dude. But from your explanation I understand this wasn't completely random purchase ;)


    I felt like I had a little too much fish in my 55... I have 2 clowns, 1 pseudochromi, 1 bi-color blenny, 1 striped damsel...

    I stuck the pseudochromi in the freezer. That was the easiest fish I ever caught. I took my lights down, put in the fish trap, put the lights back on, fish was trapped. Couldn't believe it. Anyway my point is don't say no fair like there's no options out there ya know? (though, I'm not really suggesting you freeze your maroon :p)

    And I might also humbly suggest a 10 gallon isn't as big as you perceive it. Probably somewhere in the middle :cheesy:

    I had one fish in my 10 gallon. Nitrates were a huge struggle with that one fish.
