Yup- Complete Wuss! ...but very easy to maintain! It's been up for nearly a week, and I didn't even have to check the water level! :P
All lights are off unless I want to view it! <For algae control>

I'm really loving it already! 8)

OK, so I now have 10 of those mini Brook Trout in a quaranteen tank. They look more at ease than I expected. They started looking for food right away.

You mixed livebearers with the tetras...?

Time to get something that will eat detritus. Any suggestions?

So far:
Brass tetras
Neon tetras
Glowlight tetras
2 angles
4 dalmation mollies

Everything is really settling in nicely.

I always used to love Corydoras catfish. Small, cute and lots of different types to choose from. Great for eating food that the mid-water swimmers miss (though not really a detritus consumer as such I don't think).

I've got a bunch of Shrimp. So far they seem to be keeping up with the mess in the quaranteen tank.

A combination of Amano shrimp and Corys might work really well.

I have three Corys in a 29 gallon tank and I really like them. I have had them before and they are just so cute when it's feeding time. They know when I start feeding and they start swimming around the bottom of the tank like crazy!

That's crazy - are they multiplying by themselves?
