    Hey jbraslins, thanks! :D

    Hey antdizzle, thanks! :D

    Hey dellyjoe, yeah, I've heard that too, but I do a daily partial water change and check the parameters every other day to keep my livestock in hopefully peak conditions. I'm sure if you invested on an ATO, a system that does automatic water changes daily, and perhaps a small chiller, you should be set without much worry. :D

    Hey aw1447, will do! I'll try to take better pics soon when they are resting or something. lol. I'm starting to love the possum wrasse too, he's got quite a character. :)

    Hey, yeah, Christine said it's a rare green Japanese Lizard fish! He has quite a character too, but his price tag was a little on the heavy side. lol.

    Hey Christine, yeah, he's definitely taking a liking to the powerhead. haha :)


    Awesome name! haha.

    Sexy Shrimp 5 is now officially Tiffany AKA Fanny


    :D

    Hey bvb-etf-luva, I only have two small fish, the possum wrasse and clownfish. But, that's actually already pushing it, but I'm gonna trade the clownfish (Crusty the Clown) in before it outgrows the tank. I've also been doing a daily water change with constant parameter monitoring. I'm crossing my fingers, I hope I'll be able to keep them in top condition for a while. :D

    Yeah, I know what you mean, thanks for the concern, I'm definitely going to be keeping up the daily regimen for the guys in my tank. They're all looking pretty healthy right now, but only time can tell. I'll try to do the best I can. :)

    hey just letting you know you could probably trade the wrasse for another clown, i personally had 2 clowns in my 8 gal, it can be done with experience.
