    Glad your surgery went well Bill...I can see a school of 100 Cardinals having that relax factor while your healing.
    Looks good buddy.

    Thanks guys.Idea is to keep it simple,even with the Africans heavy load on the tank because of the stocking.Lol bud,maybe by the time the calicoes are mature Ill be ready for another change.

    Little experiment.Is a 180 big enough for 2 male bettas? So far yes.

    Two male Bettas? They won't say, "This tank is big enough for both of us!" They should fight, once one of them is tired or torn up enough, it will flee. But they should fight when they find each other.

    Were at the point of doing more,not less.Today will be 4 weeks from surgery,so at the point where we push a little,not hold back.That being said,doing a good clean up of the 180 kicked my azz a little.
