Sons 30G FW

9yo who, with the exception of water changes and vacuming, takes care of the tank himself. Checks the parms, does the top off, feeds, glass scrubs, the whole works.

Tank is 4 years old. Whisper 60, UGF w/PH, Fish, snails (he wants a shrimp or two). PH6.8, AM-0, Nitrite-0, Nitrate~5. 5g water changes every 2 weeks, top off as needed.

Just wish he would agree to a background !

O yea, and an eel and catfish (both 4 years old). The catfiish is about 5" long and for some reason he seems to have an affinity for playing soccer with the snails. He waits till one of them comes up front, the you can see him sneak around the back..come barreling through and knock the snail over. Then he heads back and doesn't bother them again until another one comes up front.
