"They are much healthier and happier, comfortable with people." Ha, I know exactly what you mean. I have a brood of 3 week old Swordtails that have absolutely no fear of anything I do in their tank. I really wish I would never have to introduce THE NET so as to keep them as the calm, innocent...

Well it's only been 12 hours since I added Purigen bags to all my filters and the tanks do look a bit more 'polished', though it's hard to say for sure since they all looked good before. One big noticeable improvement is the reaction of my Brilliant Rasboras. Since moving them into the big tank...
