As expected today FedEx delivered my frags from http://www.fragalot.ca/
Everything was packed very well in an insulated box with a heat pack and lots of newspaper, i floated, dripped then dipped them and got them in the tank nice and quick.

i have the chance to get 2 Helfrichi Gobys for 80bucks, here they are normally 120 each, however in my tank (45cube) i already have a pair of purple firefish, im just thinking similar spicies+bodyshape+late addition= aggresion and dead fish, does anyone know if this will work? they are fairly pieceful fish last i checked.

first off im sorry for the horrible pictures, for some reason when my camera focuses its making the picture wayyy to dark and i have to correct the exposure to compensate washing out all the color :s it really sucks

i finally got rid of my cyano!! i though it would never go away, even after treating the tank twice with medication..It came back! I stumbled across the solution to my problem while I was attempting rule out possible culprits, it turns out the cause was direct sunlight coming ...
