	do I need fish?
Theresa_M Moderator Queen of Zoom Posts: 3649 Kudos: 4280 Votes: 790 Registered: 04-Jan-2004	I'm setting up a 6g for a couple pairs of Endler's that will be arriving late next week. They're a different color pattern than those I breed so I want to keep them separate until I get some fry from them. I'm upgrading filters on another tank, so this one will have an established Whisper 10. Until the fish arrive I only planned to have some MTS in the tank. Should I put a fish or two in the tank until I get the Endler's, or is it ok to run fishless? ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean

I think I may still put a few of my females in just to give them a break I went with priority on the shipping. I've had fish sent that way before, but I wanted to know if there were any definite reasons I shouldn't use it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is water at the bottom of the ocean
