Update on my community tank. (warning .... a bit overly sentimental about my fish )
--- A couple months ago I wrote about the tank I was creating and not being sure what to do with the fish I already had. I didn't want to take them back to the LFS, but they didn't exactly "fit" my vision for this tank. In particular I had a little neon tetra that I'd come to admire. Here is the original thread.
I decided that these fish were my friends and I needed to take care of them. If I took the neon back to the LFS she'd probably die from the stress and so would the others. So I put these fish in the main tank and I bought my lonely little neon some buddies. I VERY carefully aclimated the new neons to my liquid rock-type water and kept them in QT for 10 days or so. I put the new guys in the main tank and my little neon was thrilled. She immediately joined the gang and she taught them how to come to the surface for food. They've been doing well together for a couple weeks now. It warms my heart. My little neon looks so happy schooling with the others. 8)
Thanks for listening.
