Anyone have any suggestions?

I Have a 20g freshwater W/ 2 rainbowfish, 3 pearl Danio's, and 5 black Molly's. I have noticed that the larger of the Pearl Danio's is extremely aggressive towards the other Danio's and even the Rainbowfish. I wouldn't necessarily mind except I think he has hurt another Danio which has an open...

It seems very similar to the Cairns Rainbowfish.

I previously thought these were 2 pearl Danios that my neighbor had given me, but I bought 3 more and realized that they are not pearl Danios. My Fish: Pearl Danio Image from Wikipedia, which matches the 3 I just got.:

Here are the Pics: Day 9: Day 14:

I'm going to try and post a pic later, but when I came home from vacation, one of my pearl Danio's had become a beautiful blue color. I checked the levels and the Ammonia levels were very high, so I did 2 x 50% partial water changes (pwc) and when I was done, he was back to an opaque color...

Rainforest Cafe, nice!

you know, I went to that website, and now I think it would be cool to DIY a tank that was in the shape of an "L" to fit in a corner. You would have to fuse 2 tanks together.

This looks like a good place for some info on connecting tanks

I would definitely want to use an acrylic tube. It would ebb and flow better with temperature changes and friction against the 2 tanks.

Lol, agreed. What if he was able to replace the glass of the inner walls with Acrylic which would be easier to fabricate? Would that be possible? I have never tried to mess with a tank frame but I figure it's mostly A-frame metal, glass panes, and special acrylic caulk holding it all together.

And with the water flowing from A to B, all the fish would eventually end up in B and be unable to fight the current.

This would require a good knowledge of physics and a good calculator. The physics behind it are that gravity is going to make the water equalize. So if tank A's water level is 5 feet above the ground, and tank B's water level is 4 feet above the ground, the water is going to probably siphon 6...

I actually want to recall my statement of below or in-between. If you created a syphon you could do it without making a single cut. A little testing would be required, but it would work. Check out the Wikipedia link for the physics behind it. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Siphon

It would be very simple with a Acrylic tank because the material can be cut easily. With the right tools glass can be cut, and even a hole made. Because of gravity, your only options are really to have a passage below or between, not above. If you had the time and were successful, I'm sure...
