        Got bored.  Loved it while it was going on...but just got bored of it always looking the same.  I really want something with personality...adn a challenge.  Making a community of these fish that wont kill each otherwil be a challenge.

                      What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.

                          That tank is awesome, love the natural look.  Prepare for that Green Terror to stay the boss unless something grows up quicker than it does.  I had one that was about 5" and it didn't care how big the other fish in the tank were, it stayed the boss.
