they school ocaisionally. If they felt threatened, they'd tighten up and school closer and more often. They seem pretty relaxed. I feed them daily though.

I have a 2 rainbows in a 30 gal tank with 10 neons , they all get along great. Mind you I have a lot of plants and hiding spots, but I never see any evidence of aggression.

I have had a cold water office tank for about 3 months. My office is fairly warm though. I just put in a tiny basic filter, and have been successfully keeping neons, and a khuli loach. Theyre doing great. My office temp is around 75 degrees. I do have to change the water weekely though, about 30...

thanks man :)

I never have a freshwater tank with out some khulis. They look cool. often they hide, but they do come out and run around. They seem playful at times. They also freak out when you clean the substrate. Theyre very peaceful non-aggressive fish. Highly recommend getting at least 2, if not 4.

thanks for the compliments ! I was just lucky - the fish were very quiet, and they hung around up front.

Canon Powershot A630. I put the macro on, aimed at about a 45 degree angle from the glass, flash on. I fed the fish, and waited for 5 mins....they were much more lethargic. Took about 20-30 shots. Saved 5 of them.

thanks dude. I coulndt have done that without a digital camera. :)

I also live in montreal. I have about 15 years experience with freshwater and 5 years experience with marine. :)

15 ! Thats a lot of water changing !! ha ha

so a "python" works better..without batteries ?? thansk for the advice !

I cant seem to find any reviews on them , are they worth the price ? How fast do they work ? I'm using the ol' hose and siphon , lugging 5 gallon buckets of water around.

these guys are 6 $ and they're about an inch round.

yeah it comes off pretty easily. If I let it go, it looks really bad - I can hardly see the fish through the green haze. I have a fancy magnet scraper , and it works great.

I seeee....then I would assume they'd absorb some of the phosphates/nitrates and stuff that algea love.

no, i have a few freshwater plants as well, but I still get green algea on my glass. I have to scrape it off once a week, on average. Not a big problem, but annoying.

Would you say it might out-compete green algea for nitrates ?

At a pet store, I saw some green "moss balls" on the bottom of a tank - they were selling for 5 $ each. Why would I want to put them in my tank ?? Are they strictly for decoration ?:confused:

I would assume a carbon filter will take care of the copper... I like the shrimp idea. Nothing but shrimp.

shrimp eh ? hmmm...that would be awesome. What would I feed them ? I think theyre sensitive to heavy metals arent they ? so no tap water ?

thats what i was thinking. They'll look much cooler than sea-monkies. :D
