I had my tank spring a leak a while ago, and it was a water fall of a leak. Given the tank was a good 15 years old. I had made it home just in time, it had only leaked about 10 gallons (55 gallon) once I found it. Lucky I had used drip bends with my electricals and had the power strip in a water...

I have had horrible Pictus luck since I got one. My first one looks more like a dalmatian (I understand there are 2 breeds)..For months it sat in a corner, swimming up and down up and down day after day, never really venturing or being pleased with the tank. I have read all about these fish and...
