As these fish grow and age, they stop eating algae, and often start eating other fish. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

I checked everywere for atleast a sign of the other but found none not even in the filter and every since he has been fine as long as he gets his cucumber. When i wants it he starts chasing my danios around and well he will never catch them but for the sake i feed him. I think my LFS will take him if not he becomes a dempsy snack "No whammy, No whammy, No whammy, STOP!!" 1984-Michael Larsen On Press Your Luck
