It's a 55g . . . My little mean one is getting big quick.... From the 3rd smallest to the largest since my original post, but he's calmed down some too so that's a plus. They still aren't doing well on the flakes, but they pick hem outta the gravel eventually. I am going to try some pellets...

So I finally figured out my ammonia problem (tap water.....figure that one out......) and got my levels all looking good. Went down to the LFS and picked up four nickel/quarter sized Angelfish to introduce into the tank. One of them however is just plain mean, it's odd because he is the 3rd...

I have always believed in beginning as you mean to continue, but I think I may have bitten off more than I can chew on this one.... Setting up a new 55g aquarium, we mean to add blue acara to it if I ever get it set up right. At the aquarium shop ran into a guy that recommended setting up a...
