Re: Dritfwood Display tank

I wish I could have but with a tiny staircase leading to the basement the 150xt is about the largest tank I can manipulate onto the landing and then down the steps.

I had built a stand for 8 end out 15s and in my rush I used that stand for the extra tall. I didnt discover that my stand was an inch and...

Re: Panda Cory Story and advice requested.....

I have raised thousands of panda corys and when I find eggs I leave them be, after three or four days I make sure the tank is fed bbs and within weeks there are little pandas roaming the tank.

Not for nothing but have a group of 40 or so in a planted 150 and they group together under stones and driftwood. I started out with 12 every time there are fry I keep a few and throw them back.
