:D Well our GSP was getting a lil too comfortable in the 125 community. Buzzing around chasing the shoal of Giant Danios, though he couldn`t catch them. Was leaving the bigger fellow alone though. So I set the 30 for him last night. Don`t you know it leaks! :roll: Will have to reseal the tank first.

Anyway set him up in the 20hex that was housing a terroristic 5" Pink male Convict which has been sold. Added some Malaysian driftwood to build him some caves and something to explore. When first adding him he didn`t like it! Nobody to play with! Stayed under the wood on the bottom. Added some bloodworms and he came out! Then went back to sulking.

I then added 10 guppies and now he is back to his old self... not sure if he will eat them, don`t care actually, because they are breeding so fast something has to be done to stop the madness :D

I added 1 TBsp of IO to a glass of water and mixed it up... did this 4x over the lasr day so as to get 1 TBsp per 5 gallons. pH test won`t work now( measures a flat 6 but 7 on all the other tanks)... so if my math is correct it should have raised the pH from 7 to 7.4 over the last 24 hours. Will buy a salinity tester and saltwater test kit this afternoon.

Gotta say I know why people love these critters... they are so interactive almost immediately. For a 1.5" fish it shows NO FEAR.

Long live Bonzo Buzzsaw!!! :wink:

That tank doesn't sound cycled to me. Is it? Glad to hear he's getting BW though.

It is... been up and running for longer than 6 months. Thanks for the concern :)
