while i was on vacation,my grandparents looked after my fish. they fed quite a bit more than i would have,leading to 5 dead fish.3 jewel cichlids(dominant male,subdominant male,and dominant female),1 black skirt tetra,and my swordtail. i went from being arguablely over-stocked,to having some...

ok,as some of you may know,ive had the jewels in my 55 spawn hundreds of times before. and a couple months ago,i put 1 fry in my 10. well,hes big enough to go in my 20 now,and surviving great. but wait,there's more! they had a few spawns after that,and just when i had started debating whether or...
