Thanks for letting me join your group! I currently have one female DP in a 5 gal planted Fluval Spec V. Fell in love with her. Now I have a 30 gal cycling so I can have a community of them( 6-7 total) in the not too distant future. Still in the learning phase, but excited to be here :) I also have 2...
