They and the neons tend to be light waste producers, so I don't think you'll have any problems there. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."

And kudos for having nice big schools of your schooling fish ...IMO that's the only way to really do it, the fish just display they're normal behavior better when in larger groups. Any live plants in the tank? They're always a help when it comes to stocking. ^_^ [hr width='40%']"Has someone taken your faith? It's real, the pain you feel. The life, the love, You die to heal.
