My dad had one, and boy was he an escape artist! He was lucky we managed to find him every time he got out before the cats did. :o My dad actually got him to eat out of his hand eventually. :)

lol should've been in the title, sorry! $30.

I'm selling my Eclipse 3. It's still running at the moment, although there hasn't been a fish in it for about 3 weeks. I've only had it about a month. I'd prefer pickup (Brockton, MA), but if you're interested in shipping let me know how you'd like it shipped and to where and I'll get a quote...

Well everyone seems happy right now. :) I'm just letting the plants grow, they'll need some trimming etc next week or so. I'm also planning on doing some DIY Co2 this weekend when I can be home all day to watch it. What do you use for ferts?

So! I'm not sure if it was the SuperBac or the plants making a silent cycle, but I have nitrates. :D And still no ammonia or nitrite spike.

I'm planning on getting the ringed ones, if I can find them. what I've heard is that the more hiding spots they have, the more they'll come out, since they know they have somewhere t hide. Before they go in I'm getting a little driftwood cave, and I'll probably make one out of pvc or something...

Thanks. :) Yeah I was planning on the gourami last probably. The kuhlis second to last because I'm having trouble finding them around here. :( I'm not too worried about the bottom dwellers, I've had some people that are loach "experts" or at least know lots more than me say 6 of each should be...

Yeah, plenty of light (2.4-ish WPG), and getting dry ferts. I'm assuming with plenty of plants I won't see too much nitrate ever, right? I'm doing 20% PWCs twice a week right now, and testing the water every day. I want to add (total, over however long it takes) 3 more danios, 6 cories, 6...

Anyone else?

I added half at the beginning (when I got the fish), then half about 3 days later. I'm totally fine with waiting, just want to make sure I don't end up in a spot where the amount of ammonia from the fish is just enough from the plants, and then I get a major spike when I add fish. A little...

So... wait it out? Or will the plants always absorb it? More fish? I was thinking 3 more danios total. Or go to the cories? Or do they need a more established tank?

So, I've got a 29 gallon. I decided to use SuperBac to cycle (I realize some people don't agree with that, but my lfs recommended it). My tank is pretty heavily planted. After a week of having plants, I got some danios. It's been 10 days now with 7 danios, and no ammonia or nitrite readings at...
