Re: A hello post with some questions - and lots of PICS!

Diana - thank you so much for the reply! I really appreciate it! Good to know that the tiny tank will be okay for the tiny babies for their QT. Paramaters have been very stable, but I can't help feeling bad for keeping such active little critters in such close quarters - despite their size! They see...
