OK. It sounds like TB is the winner. I guess it's just wait and see from here on out. Nothing much else I can do I guess... Thanks again for all you help! -Dan

Thanks for the replies! I just read up on it but I couldn't find any pictures of infected fish just to be certain so I'm kind of wondering what I do now? Should I just keep an eye out for anything out of the ordinary? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. -Dan

We've officially had our first casualty since setting up the tank. One of our MM platies developed some wierd humpback condition and finally died last night. I'm not sure exactly what was the cause. I noticed it a few days earlier. She was very thin and her rear half was angled from her...

When I set mine up, the rubber seal was in a seperate baggy to keep it from drying out and cracking. Also, make sure it's on the correct way. My filter has the word Fluval split between the canister and the pump parts. When it's on correctly, they line up. I'd bet on the rubber seal...

The pound said he's a mix of lab and pit but we think he's got some shepherd in him, too. Who knows, really... But he's ours now. :) -Dan

Very cute dog. How old? Just curious, is the cat de-clawed? -Dan

Hey guys and gals- I saw the other pics of the puppies and I couldn't resist... Here's our new puppy. We rescued Caruso from the county animal shelter about 3 weeks ago. He's 6 months old and has already been in and out of the pound twice. The first time because the family couldn't afford...

I was thinking about the other fish, but she hasn't even looked remotely preggo, so I was thinking it was that male stressing her out. It looks like my plan may have backfired... I think the new females are too young to breed, so I've basically hornified the male with the new girls and left...

Here's some pics: One of the new girls: The guy's new favorite hobby: The new girls together: Here's one of the big guys: It looks like the male has calmed down a ton since the new females came into play. Thanks a bunch for your advice! I hope the new females grow a bit. It's a...

OK, here's what we did. Since I was hankering for some new fish anyway, we took a drive to the pet store. I was looking for 3 females (to really spread his affection around) but they only had two. We went with some beauty bright-yellow mickey-mouse platys. They're awesome! Tiny, but...

I've started out with 3 Columbian tetras when I was cycling the tank and added 3 more after the cycling was done. The first few days there was a lot of showing off and nipping to figure out the pecking order (no pun intended) but everyone calmed down after that. There's a nip here or there...

I was thinking about getting the female drunk but then I remembered that it's illegal in this state... Roofie-colada anyone?!? (Family Guy thing) The tanks a 72 gallon with plenty of hiding spaces. She does a pretty good job of it, but he always ends up rooting her out. Maybe it is the...

Hey! Gotta ask! When I started the tank up about 5 months ago, I started with 2 platys and 3 tetras. The same 2 platys are in there and nothing! Just curious as to why? He's definitely chasing her around. I've been toying with the idea of getting some more platys to give her a break...

I've got 6 Columbian Tetras in with my two Angels and everyone's cool. The woman at the pet store said that if the size of the fish are remotely close to the size of the angel's mouth, you may have trouble. The tetras are pretty big and were in the tank before the angels, so I guess that may...

And some more... Like I said... This is actually more than I see of him normally! And for Machu -Dan

Here's some more pics I got off my camera. Just another pic of the angel and finally one of the illusive pleco. Sorry about the bad pleco pic... His favorite hiding place is inside the faux wood... -Dan

I've got 6 Columbian Tetras in my 72 gallon with 2 angels and 2 platys and everyone seems to be cool with each other. If there is any aggression, it's between the Tetras themselves, not towards the other guys. Plus I really like the coloring of them, red tails with blue on top. Really nice...

Thanks again, everyone! This kind of tank has always been a dream of mine since I was a kid with a 10 gallon tank. I'm so glad that I finally got it going... Thanks to all you guys (and gals) for this forum! I've been reading up since I found this site and there's tons of great info here. -Dan

pseud - Get the Energizer rechargables. It charges 4 batteries in about 15 minutes and they last longer than regular batteries. I've been using them for over a year now for the digital camera and I can't imagine how many batteries I would've gone through... The driftwood we bought online. As...

Thanks! The tank's 72 Gallon. I was going to get the 46, but the 72 just looked right. I took close to 40 pictures to get 5 good ones, so I by no means a master, but I'm learning. My camera's zoom makes it really tough to get still pictures, so I just went with the manual zoom and moved...

Hey! Just wanted to say an official Hello and show some pics I finally took. Let me know what you think! -Dan The Angels: The male platy (love his color) The Tetras: The tank:
