    I guess my fish are happy?
    I changed them over to a biggger tank and when looked in on them this morning they were all schooling together, no chasing or nipping.. wierd I tell ya...

    So I have a question,
    My water hardness is
    Kh = 196.9 ppm
    Gh = 89.5 ppm

    Is this good or do I still need to raise the Gh?

    is the 75 the bigger tank you transferred them over to? im sooo itching to switch over to a bigger tank, i just don't have a place and my wife would kick my @$$. lol

    looking good!! I'm looking at the 75, thinking it'll be a good stepping stone to the bigger tanks....or maybe i should just go straight to the bigger tank? =)

    send more pics!! =)

    I'm sure it wife wouldn't mind of you went another foot, I do jave a Tiffany braclet for sale so maybe suprised her then tell her you bought a bigger tank... Just make sure you spend less on ur tank.

    No more bigger tanks! Not untill we move.. oh ya we got a new shrimp tank for a great deal! But its just a 10 gallon...
