Re: tank ideas

Sigh, if only it were true. I'd never have to buy another fish again.
Unfortunately in the real world most fish look on any egg as a high nutrition
item and most tetras actively seek out these delicacies. The same goes for fry.
In my opinion cichlids and other fish that provide parental care are the lazy
breeder's (like me) friend. A community tank is for show not breeding. Look on
any fry that survive as a rare bonus.
