    Use a thin coat of petroleum jelly on the glass then smooth out the bubbles with a plastic card
    Works every time

    not a problem, I've ordered the black & the blue for past tanks and loved them! Plus they are removable which is nice if you don't want a permanent one (such as painting..although even paint can be removed with laquer thinner).

    Love this pic. It's of my new white calvus, but it was when I first put him in the tank and both frontosas were checking him out. As of right now the only fish really bugging him is the young frontosa (the one on the right). He'll kind of just come up to the calvus, and push him gently in the side, but the calvus will do this sort of arch thing that exposes his sharp scales, and the frontosa will back away from him. This pic makes me kind of wish I went with just tanganyikan cichlids rather than mixing it all up... [confused]
