They do like lots of room to swim around in, need a heater, and just have way too much of a bio load for a 1 gal. Just cause they are called Dwarf doesn't mean that they can be treated as a dwarf.  Their bodies are quit stout and that greatly increases their bio load.[span class="edited"][Edited by phoneshannen 2004-07-26 16:38][/span] |
