Are you considering moving him to a larger tank or returning him to the LFS, because royals get too big for a 20 gallon. Joe Potato Last edited by Joe Potato at 21-Feb-2005 09:11

This article (link follows) should tell you all you need to know about them! http://www.fishprofiles.com/files/forums/Tetra%20Talk/53433.html Panda Catfish fan and keeper/breeder since Christmas 2002

Move the Royal to a larger tank & enjoy your fish. http://www.deathbydyeing.org/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

I'd move it, then add a bunch of lemons. They are very colorful and charismatic tetras, and are pretty tough to kill. You would do well to add a good sized school of lemons to your tank. And when he gets to Heaven, to Saint Peter he will tell: "One more Marine reporting, Sir! I've served my time in Hell."
