Al these greens seem to already have a lot of color for the short period you have had them. Will they still acquire more as time goes by? thanks again Ed

Hi Ed,
They should acquire more color, but it really depends on their diet.. They have been feeding well on my Beefheart mix which has nutrurose , paprika and Krill, as well as a pellet mix of NLS and ocean nutrition ( also alot of pigments)

Thanks Guys,

Ed, Don't worry...I never spoil my fish with one food... These should not have any troubles with your cuisine ;) Frzen blood worms, brine shrimp, tetra bits, ocean nutrition pellets, NLS pellets and they should do well by you...

of course...I could teach you my Beefheart recipe.;)

Mark,
The alenquers should not be a problem:D Just get that 125 up and running!;) If not for the discus..that driftwood needs it!:)

Al, et all...I am interested in getting 2 wilds and a large heckle...I have one large heckle in my tank with much younger fish and he seems to be a loner......He stays to himself, they all school around him however.....I think if I got him a buddy close to his size and another heckle he would like that....any suggestions?
Thanks,
dawn

hth,

this is coming way out of left field...
but our new "petcare manager" at work managed to just destroy some water sprite in our planted "show" tank. in this "planted show tank" she used aragonite as her substrate. and later added a mix of fish ranging from red devils to cardinal tetras... lmao.

on topic: one of these i swear i'm getting some fish from both you and kenny.
