I have this demasoni who looks fine, just acts docile and sort of sleepy. He swims out in the open pretty rarely, he eats fine, but just likes to find random spots in the plants to chill out.

Looking for a reliable source to purchase fish online. Where do you buy your fish?

So i have here an "OB" fish. I tend to write off any OB as a peacock without really looking much into it. My sister had purchased fish for my tank as a christmas present and there was this OB included in the 5. I guess i never really researched much into as I've previously ignored these fish...

Lets see what you have! Also how long have they held up and have they had any negative effects on the water parameters...

Im pondering what kind of sump i want to build for my next tank. Been watching all sorts of videos and looking at pics. Just wondering about these integrated sumps on the side or the back of the tank. How efficient are they? Do they really work as well as a tank with a sump and overflow? Etc...
