They look great Deckape! Those little buggers are so fast I'm surprised you got them in the shot at all!

All your numbers sound absolutely perfect too. Those fish got to move into a palace.

Man, you gotta get danios. Those guys are nice. My leopards almost look like rainbow trout. The blues are pretty too. You are right, they are fast. I was gonna wait to get the panda corys, but I need some bio load. It appears the danios don't have much of a bio load. I have fed them 30 seconds worth of flakes twice. I haven't seen but one little tiny flake go to waste. They hit that food and get down to businesses.

The numbers as a direct reflection of teamwork between Eco and I and the advice received directly or indirectly from all of you. Thanks everybody.

Headin home with neons, round body red eyed tetras and zebras! How'd you acclimate yours? Drip method, slowly adding water to the bag?

Congrats! I just slowly poured water a few ounces a time over about 30-40 min. And dumped them in water and all. They took off.

+1!!! get some of the whole tank too!

 

[eco23]

Yep remembered the heater thank God. Seems like exactly the type of thing I'd do. I'll upload some pics to my tank thread in a couple hours once they've checked out their new digs. You won't believe the price I got on them.

Hey Deckape, your Danios aren't jumpers are they? Mine keep playing in the bubbles and launching themselves up to the surface, lol. My tank is covered but there's some open space in the back that I don't want them to launch themselves out of.

 

[Deckape]

Not yet. I did a head count this morning and think all were present. But it is hard to count those buggers. I didn't see any on the floor. I am going to plug the gaps on the back where the cutouts are with sponges I think.

That's a good idea. I had a bala shark a few years ago that tried to go where no fish had gone before...he didn't make it far.
