Large RTBS suddenly dies, buy 12 Cardinal tetras, small ehiem impella stops masive spikes etc. 10 cardinals, & 2 Ottos die. Now new tank leaks. Replaced it and it is up and running. Second RTBS dies. Now back to normal I hope. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do. I VOTE DO YOU if not WHY NOT? VOTE NOW VOTE NOW

Some days you're the pigeon and some days you're the statue. Remember that age and treachery will always triumph over youth and ability.

I have no idea how old he was as I rescued him from an Osca tank, when I got him his fins were torn and his colour was a pale grey. He was about 4&1/2ins long. He was actually the boss of the tank and very much controlled his own area, yet at feeding time never a problem. He just chased the others and never actually touched them.
