    It's been a long time coming... sorry we went on a little vacation and I've been slacking on getting the pics off the camera.

    Anyway, the tank has been cleaned out and most of the water from the 26G was transferred into this tank along with some of the old filter. [3ofus]

    New addition to the tank now... rope fish number two. He seems to hang out a lot in the tree and only seems to come out to eat... maybe he's more of a night person than the other guy.

    Yea he tends to just hangout there... it's funny 'cause at times you can get him to move is head towards the glass as if to say... 'Get out of my cave'... [boxing]

    Get females or males only :) Mollies'll overstock your tank in no time :) A friend of mine started with a couple and now has hundreds of them

    well we already have a pair of plattys so to try and even out the male chasing the female all day we thought adding another female would help. And the Molly currently is a lone male so we thought a couple females would be nice for him. We actually are pretty excited to have some fry and have a tank to put the fry into... thanks for the concern.
