Gee it's a good thing I'm so stubborn (sometimes).... My mom wanted me to get another modestus for my 55G and I'm like ummm.... no

:) I STILL want a puffer for my so called "big" tank, but there's no medium-sized puffers that are not uber aggressive :(

Decided to skip on the silus & modestus, and just keep the 20G empty for now. You have no idea how much drool can accumulate while staring at an empty fish tank with a filer, heater, light, and top. All it takes is a 20% WC on my 100, that's all. UGH!!!!

Seriously thinking about getting a Silus I saw at a LFS. He looks nice and fat, and is only like 2.5 inches.

Why don't you put some of your Mom's fish in there?

Good idea, but no. She loves her "little" Severums and Kgouramis, so she won't let me. She still doesn't think it's overstocked. So I think I'll try and pull off my first single-species tank.
