norstar2k: take a look at this website. It gives you recommended tank sizes for housing different types of freshwater fish:
http://www.liveaquaria.com/product/prod ... pcatid=857

You can use this to help guide with your fish selection. A fish may look like it can fit into the aquarium, but different fishes have different needs when it comes to swimming space, room for growth etc. Also be careful with putting too many fish in your aquarium, because overpopulating will only lead to disease and death.

This coral ornament is safe for all aquariums--freshwater or marine. It is attached to a weighted resin-rock base to ensure "drift-free" placement in any aquatic substrate.
The colour is closer to pink than the red shown in the pic.

Price - $350

Quick question for the oscar keepers. I have a very active tiger oscar, (literally jumping out of the water and hitting her head on the cover.)

She now has a 3 scales missing from above her head, that now have holes in them. What are the holes about? and what can I do about it?

......3 scales missing from above her head, that now have holes in them. What are the holes about? and what can I do about it?

X, I would assume (and a pic would help here) that the missing scales/abrasions got infected. The holes could be as a result of "Hole-in-the-head" disease which is a common ailment among cichlids. i would recommend a light salt dosage plus a good dose of methylene blue after 24 hrs and a 50% water change. There is a product on the market for this disease I will get that info for you and post it when i get home.

I would suggest a mesh above the tank (like the greenhouse mesh or stuff for fern pots that they sell in plantshops). Alternatively you can build a higher cover for the tank
