I got this 90 gallons tank from my boyfriend. in the beginning, b/c of high PH and Ammonia, sadly a lot of fish went to see God, :) finally, i got Driftwood, then PH and Ammonia got stable. each m ember in my family has his own "army", my 13 catfish have never stop working, my bf's "10 cents" (feeding minnows) plus one of the gold fish he bought for me on the first day always eat the most. (well, my bf is the biggest guy in my family, i think that can explain something) my dad's Tetras are the largest group in my tank, he is always proud that his tetras have nice color and did not die in the early Ick storm. my mom has all the rainbows, gouramis, other gold fish (my mom made two of my gold fish married, god bless them hahah), and black shirt tetras, she always wants them stay together, too bad each of them has its own business. well, my tank set up for about month, everything looks good so far, i hope each army will make peace to other, so i dont need to take someone out and put in jail. hope u like my tank.
