Your tank is really looking good, Mandy. It will be fun to see those angels grow! and the rams are just gorgeous.

Omg Mandy you and I are kindred spirits. I watch it every day.

Thanks FM. :) Did you get my PM yesterday?

Haha Crunchy! So do I, so do I. Even though we've seen them like, 1,000 times we still laugh out loud at Fraiser. To this day, Kelsey Grammer is the only celeb who has ever starred in any of my dreams. That tells me I watch it WAY too much.... Lol..

Haha. My sister and I quote Friends and Frasier non stop in daily conversation. Just last night she was trying to talk me into going to her house for dinner instead of the other way around. I responded with "Did you not hear me say that I have ordered an Hungarian goose?!?"

On the subject of your tank, I may have missed this earlier in the thread, but what type of lighting are you using? Have you considered heavily planting it with low maintenance, low light plans? Or are you going to go for a look that is predominantly branchy with interspersed plants here and there?

Love your golden ram....my favorite fish of yours by a long shot.

Hahahaha! That's awesome. We're kind of partial to, " A rug, where a rug doesn't belong?!"

For my lighting I have 2 T5's that were meant for my 55g. That being said, I don't plan on upgrading again, so whatever plants I do add will be low light, easy maintenance. Preferrably they will attach to driftwood and rocks, because I don't plan on spending a bunch of money on specialty substrate this time either.

First order of business is to get the driftwood, then the plants. I suppose I'll just keep adding plants until I'm satisfied with how it looks.

I love her as well. She's just like, BAM when you look at the tank.

Very nice tank pictures Mandy. Breeding Kuhlis, now thats a challenge. Go for it!

**MandyK** · 03-03-2013, 02:18 AM

Why thank you kind friend. :)

Is the Kuhli thing really supposed to be that difficult? I was looking more out of curiosity, but hey I might get bored. You never know, haha!
