So the answer for this tank ended up - leave the top level clear of fish. It has mid and bottom dwellers that are happy.

It's a 2012 thread now !

That is a nice shoal, bet they look cool in the current!

Just getting around to reading this thread! Was away in my hot tub time machine.

If your unsure, can't find a catagory, or there is more than one species in the pic...put it here.

It would be nice to figure out where the person got the idea that a larger % water change is a bad thing. If it was from personal experience I am sure you could determine what happened to make her think it. Putting water in the tank that is of the wrong temp or colder than your tank could...

right now: 1. Neolamprologus leleupi 2. Altolamprologus calvus 3. a few killies

so it serves me right for posting in this thread... I have a tank with no substrate. I looked at it this evening and I see a large number of baby snails all over the tank and clutches of eggs that look like they are about to hatch... ... lots of them! Almost gross!!! mooooooose

Good points t3hRobG! And the other thing is that sometimes with snails you see a few but already have 'many' (be it egg or very small hatchings)

I agree with Lisa! - sometimes the snail ratio shows if there is too much feeding occurring.. "sometimes" (*millage may vary.) But I have found with some tanks that I reduced feeding and the snails did not flourish as much. Those ones look pretty cool! Moooose

great photo of a great loach!
