Re: My GSP!
I meant duh for me, I forgot we were talking about a GSP. Yes, Selcon is good but has completely different vits than VitaChem,. I use both for my SW animals.

Re: My GSP!
I found that backgorund at my local Petco. I used some Seaview to make it pop and it looks great with some decor. Really excellent look.

Re: My GSP!
i saw one that was similar at petco near me. i think the one i actually originally saw at that fish place was the same look but i think where the bottom of the ocean would be it was just darkness, looked really cool. i might have to head to that petco again to see if they have it in the size i need because who knows when i will make it out to that fish place again. i was just reading about the seaview stuff and was definitely going to pick up some of that too! i will have to add the background when i do a water change so i can slide the tank and stand out an inch or two on each side so i can reach all the way back into the corners

Re: My GSP!
looks like your doing a good job yourself! puff looks all nice and bright and a nice white belly! by far my favorite fish i have ever owned. i think if something happened to him i would break down my tank, sell it and wait til im in a more permanant home to get 120+ for a fahaka that i have always wanted, or hopefully a mbu eventually
