| I just wanted to say a belated but heartfelt Thank You to all of you for the sound council and sage advice you provided while I was cycling and setting up my new tanks. I do not post much but I do read this forum frequently and I have learned a great deal from your post to other forum members. I have two tanks now established. One is a 10 gallon standard tank that cycled in 28 days. The other is a 26 gallon show tank that cycled in 20 days. The larger tank cycled faster than the smaller one. Go figure. The 10 gallon is home to my White Clouds and the 26 gallon keeps my Tetras. I had first considered a community tank. But as I learned more about allowing the fish to thrive in their most optimum environment, I choose instead to set up species specific tanks. The only challenge I have run into is that the pH level out of my tap is +8.0. I really did not want to get into a situation where I am constantly trying to manipulate the pH, but 8.0 is just too high. I have been adding a buffer (Seachem product) with my water changes. This has kept the level at a more acceptable 7.2-7.4 range. Anyway, Happy fishkeeping everyone. I hope you all have a super great Labor Day weekend!

I like tetraville the best. I'm curious; are your lemon tetras crazy to be fed? I've heard of many people with lemons say that they will swim fast to the top for food... and that one hit the tank lid (jumped) but still ate as if nothing happened.
