Does that make it sound like I was sitting in the corner empty? Anyhow. This was one of my best scores last year and I'm happy to finally have it up and running. There is 14 fish in it. 3 Platys, 3 Neons. 3 Mollies, 3 tiger somethings, 1 bottom feeder and 1 algae eater. Enjoy

I'd worry about the conch shell though... it will leech salt water type chemicals into the water. The hard water fish won't mind so much, but the soft water fish (tetras) and any live plants you may have won't like it. [ Edited by: foamy on 2004-08-02 09:38 ]

[ Edited by: foamy on 2004-08-02 09:38 ] The conch has not been in salt water for over five years and it has been sitting outside the whole time in the sun and rain. Not sure if this makes a difference or not. It has now been in the tank with the fish for about two months and hasn't seemed to bother them yet.

I believe fresh water puffer fish are considered to be aggresive. Docwoods, my bar is not complete on the count that I plan to sell this house and move but I will post some pics of what I have as of now.

It was sad. [ Edited by: purple jade on 2004-08-03 16:52 ]

K Kono Member Orlando Joined: Oct 08, 2003 Posts: 1266	K Kono Posted posted on Mon, Aug 2, 2004 7:46 PM Looks great! I recommend those freshwater pufferfish. I have had several of them back when I had fish tanks. Those little buggers are like oscars in that when they see you walk by the tank they'll rush up front and look at you to see if you have food. They're not aggressive so much, they just have big appetites and like to nip fins if you don't keep them well fed. Man, this makes me want to get another tank.
