Gosh, I feel kinda silly being here, even though I am learning a lot for my future purchase of a larger aquarium, probably salt water. I have a 20gal long, my first large aquarium and it is a Tropical Community tank. I had a small problem with ph dropping too much, but i finally got it stablized and the fish seem to be fine now. Of course I lost the ones I had at the beginning, and have started over now, but at least I think the problem has been solved. *smile* I do have three Red Velvet Swordtails I am a little concerned about. They have only been in the tank a couple of days, so their behavior may be typical considering their circumstances. Most of the time the two females are flitting here and there and seem pretty lively. The male will do the same sometimes, but most of the time he appears to be hiding at the back of the tank (He is really gorgeous, wiht a single, thin black line along the swordtail). The females do this occasionally. The other fish see to be very lively and having a ball. I am going ot wait about 5 days before adding anymore. If you have any ideas or advice for a newbie, let me know *laugh* Have a nice day...I hope my questions don;t seem to juvenille to those of you who have graduated to larger tanks!!! *laugh* M.
