What should I be testing for with the drop kind? I have had little tanks forever, and didn't pay them much attention, now I am excited and loving my big tank in my living room......this is fun!!

Okay, got photobucket figured out, here's the promised pic of 'our' ducati.

maybe this picture will turn out better.....i need that camera of patrick's, any maybe some skill to go with it.

Can anyone tell me what this little guy is? He was in a tank with balloon rams and parrotfish (all young). He was different from everyone else, my balloon rams are lovely and colorful and growing, this little fella is holding steady at the size of a nickel. The pics are poor, but you'll get the idea. He is kind of a peachy color. Cute little dude(ette). This is my first time posting pictures, hope this worked.... Robin

Howdy

Is it Patrick who takes these amazing photos? What cost more, the camera or the ducati? These are unbelievable!!

I agree, the cost is a ratio of 20:1. I'd take a horse or a Harley, but have to settle for some fishies....I'm not complaining though, love my tank. I use test strips for nitrate, nitrite, ph, kh, and i think one other thing. Forgot to mention my gourami and an upside down catfish.

Thanks for the tips on the tank, so far, so good with the last couple of days. Hoping all are happy now!! Here's a pic of the bike.........funny no one on the forum asked for a pic of my tank!!!! LOL ps....hubby wants to know what kind of a ducati you ride? He has a 2008 1098. okay....any tips on how to post a photo here????

Did I type Nature's Miracle? Oops, that is the stuff I use to clean up cat puke. I meant Nature's Corner, or something like that.....lol Robin

Hello out there. My name is Robin, I just signed on to this forum. I found myself going to fish stores and picking the brains of staff, until one brilliant man at Nature's Miracle gave me this forum. So many questions.......... Well, a little info about me first. I had a little 10 gal downstairs for years, danios, tetras, pleco, the like. Then my husband bought a Ducati (expenive motorbike). I wanted something classy also!! So...he bought me a nice 45 gallon tank for my living room. I love it, it is absolutely beautiful. I gaze at my fishies and just love the relaxation. We have 4 small children, so when they go to bed, you will find me sitting on a chair in front of my tank. In there I now have: 2 red rams big pleco 2 Balloon (???) rams 5 glass catfish 3 kuhli loaches (sp?) 1 kuboati loach (sp?) 1 panda cory 1 other cory 3 kiili fish (sp?) 2 priscilla tetras 1 lowly little neon 3 lemon tetras hmmmmm, hope i din't miss anybody. oops, yes a single male congo tetra. I just lost my albino bristlenose pleco yesterday. There has been a little carnage in my tank lately, prompting me to beg for answers at fish stores. I lost my angels (2), a glass catfish, a ruby barb, a kiili fish, my female congo, and got rid of my danios. I also gave back a red tail shark and a ruby barb, they were jerks. I treated the tank with melafix as the female congo lost her tail fin. I got rid of the 2 leftover jerks. My water is just peachy on the test strip. The fish are all young(er). Any ideas on why, a week after I finished treatment, and got rid of the shark, now I find my beloved little pleco dead?? I thought I was ready to get some more congo's, but now I should obviously wait for a bit. Well, there's the scoop. Looking forward this forum. Cheers, Robin
