And here's the last one for now. It's my firefish. He's a riot. When I finaly released him after aclimating to salt and temp and that he stayed to the top. I thought he was sick but nope, he saw his reflection and started to bump his head in and out of the water for a while but now he's happy swimming about the upper region of the tank.
Hey, I am also an hour away from Chicago. Valparaiso, IN. to be exact. Were are you at? I make my own water and can also (when in need) get it by five gallon bottle at the local grocery store for 25 cents a gallon.
