    What a great BIG tank! I'm sure Queen and all of her buddies love it! Your fish are all beautiful. Nice pics.

    Beautiful tank setup. Are those real plants? I still can't believe Bob hasn't tried eating the goldfish yet. I hope Queen doesn't get any blue rocks stuck in her throat. I got rid off all my gravel years ago. I kinda miss the colors, but if I do a trop tank someday I'll be sure to get some pretty blue gravel again.

    Thanks everyone for the great compliments! ^^ Only once and alwhile Bob tries to suckle on the side of Queen, but Queen has such a powerful tail, with one quick flick, Bob is off and gives up. lol, I have a very lazy algae eater. He does not do his job at all ever since I got him. When I first got him he wouldn't clean algae off anywhere, he even let himself get sooo skinny. So I finally fed him some algae pellets, that or else he was starving to death. So Bob now eats algae pellets and Goldfish pellets...he's a strange pleco lol.

    And Queen pics up rocks and spits them out all the time. She's done this since I got her 2 and a half years ago now. Of all my life of having goldfish, I've never had any die from the gravel or choking. But I guess it's possible. Has yours ever died of the gravel before? Just wondering. Once again thanks everyone!


    The plants aren't real. The really long ones are ones I made myself from plastic plants at a dollar store, and ones from petstores. I kind of did some cutting some reputting together and all that and made them! They sure are pretty.

    Yes, they really are pretty... And let's hope that none of your fish die from choking

    What a great tank setup! I really enjoyes seeing the "before" and "after;" I bet there was a few hours work in between those 2 photos, ha ha.

    I have blue gravel also, with a little white mixed in for variety.

    Thanks for posting all these photos, and I am SO glad those 2 fishies have names now!

    Oh, that's not good at all. I think my father just had that problem with his tropical fish, it was either white spots or ick, one of them anyways. Most of his died even though he was treating them, now there is only 1 guarami left, 1 tiger barb, and 1 pleco.

    Wow! That's so cool! We're twins! Just kidding lol.

    So the babies are all eating great and everything, but because of the liquid food the water is seriously foggy. does anybody know if I should change some water and add new water? And how many times should I do this. I'ts going to be hard doing it without getting a baby, but I know I can.

    Originally I filled the baby tank with the 55 gallons water so that the water wasn't new. Should I once and awhile change the water from the 55 gallon?

    And do the babies need oxygen? Should I put a bubble maker in there? lol sorry for all the questions. Thanks for the positive thoughts guys! You all are awesome!
