    Cardinal Fish has a protruding eye

    Cardinal Fish has a protruding eye

    Just wanted to add that the wall hammer in the photo has been divided in half three times in its life and the half I didn't want was divided into pieces with only one to three mouths each. I've never lost a frag. I usually have 7-15 to sell. Any one else need to do this and a little nervous...

    Introduce yourself with pics.

    Hi there! I just want to say hello. I have some pictures of my aquarium. I'll try this and see if it works. The reason I am here is that for years I had a very nice 55 gallon tank. I upgraded some 4-5 yeas ago and have had algae problems ever since. I'm persistant though and feel that if I just...
