Also, no paradise fish or some gouramis. ><> ~=!Vote Today!=~ <>< -----> View My Dragons <-----

I used to keep mine in a range of 7.2 - 7.8 without problems & died of old age after 4 years. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com
