hey paws,  the fish store guy said 3 corys would be alright in my 14 gal tank that also houses3 neons.  What do you think?   This wk end I wanted to add 3 more neons to finish up.

I had 3 pandas with 6 neons in a 10 gallon. One of them died by a bacterial infection but the rest are doing great! Go ahead and do it.

i hate to say it but if your useing well water you will need a water purification method cause like some people said the run off is a danger. this is true plus you dont know what can be decomposing near the well like in maine i heard reports of high levels of arsenic in some areas and in other states high levels of mercury or even waste run off of septic systems. so i would say get something to filter the water chemicals will not always filter those two heavy metals out especialy the arsenic which is highly toxic to all life.

Hailey is correct- especiallyu lawn applications - you did not mention if you have a shallow or deep drill well. The shallow is a great concern for runnoff contamination - if it is a deep drill - runnoff and perculation of pesaticides etc is, generally not a problem.

Just a thought for you, if it is bad for the fish then it is bad for you....

Lumberjack - I used to think that way until I went to the Chicago waterworks  web site - They have decided to discontinue the use of Chlorine in the city water system because - after a 30 year study - they have found it harmful to humans and the fact that the added chlorine - to the waste dumped into the lake, was killing the fish. They have now converted to using Ammonia - but one thing just showed no common sense - the site expressly warns that all pet owners should refrain from giving the city water to their pets bercause it is considered posionous to dogs, cats, etc.... but the site clearly states that it is safe for human consumption ---- I guess the way you and I think is on the track of common sense - - this is where the common sense train derails - right???
