I can appreciate that. Unfortunately for me, I rarely see these guys, and my camera doesn't do well when I've tried to take other tank pictures. I guess the best I can do is describe in words. Sorry!

Thanks,
Sarah

Re: heater

Hi there...

I do have a heater, but I've never seen any of the fish even get close to it before. It is in the upper right hand back corner of the tank. Also, it doesn't seem to be very warm to the touch. Do you still think that might be the cause?

Thanks,
Sarah

Cory bumps?

Tyler,

Thanks for your response... I guess it's a possibility, though this fish still seems absolutely fine! It eats like a little pig and swims around everything and everyone in the tank! Are there particular symptoms that I might look for with this?

Cheers,
Sarah

Fiskars,

Sounds interesting, though I don't even know where to go about getting a seashell or coral! I went to my LFS again last night, and they did have the Proper pH 7.0 in stock. I also bought Maracyn Two and I began treating the tank today.
Last night the extremely bloated danio died, but the ...

Re: Surprise fry

Hi all...

Thanks very much for your advice. We bought a guppy breeder box, put some gravel in the bottom, and put the fry in. It sank to the bottom with the weight of the gravel, so in order to keep the lid from floating off I put a few big pieces of gravel on top of it.
We bought frozen baby ...
