Sometimes when you're burying a guy alive, for a moment or two you start feeling sorry for him. And then it passes and you keep on shoveling...

oh and people with photo signatures suck

Thanks, it would have to be smaller though. If Mrs. Mini would approve a new tank, which she wouldn't. :P

I prefer Cardinal tetras. About 30 of them.

Yeah- planning on buying out the tank when I go. :lol: ...it will still be way less than a single coral. :lol:

Cardinals are great; I like Rasboras too. There's zillion nice tetra species. Wuss fish rule.

I think I am going to see if any White Cloud Mountain Minnows are available locally. I have kept them in my little plastic pond outside year round. They reproduce a lot - same for Florida Flag Fish.. Freshwater can be cool!

I think I'm going with Neons vs Cardinal Tetras because they are supposedly much easier to breed. Apparently any light on the Cardinal fry will kill them.

My little Cherry Shrimp arrived, they're fun to watch.

I'll bet they are good if you haven't eaten in a couple weeks and there's nothing else around. No, I prefer my fish slutty and fresh.

You've gotten neons to breed? The closest I've seen was my Glo-lights (sp?) and they spread eggs around... they didn't last, but it was cool.
