    The salt won't hurt either way, just don't replace it with your wc's.
    It was 40ppm though. Possibly more.

    That’s the one you and Al keep pointing out. Every so often, the bar across his eyes are gone. But when I bring the camera it comes right back.

    You sure do! I plan on breeding these. I'm going to keep them in their own tank once they hit adult stage and I'll throw my red cover in there. Might be nice to mix one with my red cover. I'm foreseeing two new 100g+ tanks. One full of these guys and the other full of the blue face blue rims. I might end up outside with the dogs though if I keep pushing my limits.

    Mando, you are as bad as I am. When you want it you want it so much you end up getting getting it. Also, It seems like you're hooked to death on breeding. Thank God that nobody can tell me what or what not I can do.

    Actually, I'm worse than you. I bred 2 mixed breed dogs on purpose. I didn't think that I'd be blessed with 8, but in the batch I have 2 that I will keep. A third is working on my heart. I think that mixed breeds are underrated. I go big on personality, structural correctness, and general appearance. I am addicted to breeding different animals least as much as the worst breeding junky.

    Best of luck growing out these good little kids to good big breeding age fish, having them pair up and fry attached.

    Must have been amazing! Brian, can you check out my tank journal thread and tell me if my fish have an issue? I think their eyes are a bit swollen especially the snakeskin who hit a year this month.

    Well, I have a few addictions in my life LOL. My cars (expensive) and my fish (getting expensive) and I can understand that I tend to go overboard. Maybe I'll do a post with all my cars to share with you guys. I like to restore old Jap cars. Thank you on the Luck

    I was thinking the same thing until Pat pointed out that my phone probably has a better quality screen than my laptop. Much of what I thought was missing was actually still there...

    I guess i'll have to pull out my Cannon t3i to take some pics. This low quality stuff does not allow you to capture the full growth of these fish.
