well a couple of weeks ago i got some flame tail tetra's, QTed them in my bettas old tank. Yesterday i tossed them into the 110 finally. Got home from work and only saw 2 in the tank, looked around on the floor since there is still no top for it and couldnt find them. Turned my wetdry off and looked inside it and there were all 5 that were missing, dead. So that plan didnt work out to well lol

On a good note, Bloat will be moving to his new tank this weekend.

sucks about your potential tank mates getting sucked into your filter. That..... sucks. :)

I said sucks 3 times....

Yep. Time for bed. lol....

Grats to Bloat and his Moving Day :D Did you get him a cave for a tank warming gift?
(I wish I had more fish-tank friends that believed in tank-warming gifts!)
