Tony, appreciate the bleach idea.. I do have 1 log style decoration they really liked, after 2 days of scalding hot warter...I will still do that...as for everything else..tank included...I'll tell the hubbie, and will put a red bow on that old tank with contents! ,). I WAS NOT taking a chance. The crew are exploring the new pad now...I think they will be happy...they always liked when I rearranged everything..so they should have fun exploring....
Thanks again for the info...I wish the store told me about potential trouble with Pleco as I read many that did include in their enclosures without trouble...I would not have taken the chance. glad Chocolate ate the Lil nasty fish before she died! (sounds mean..but I'm still upset... ) that was the only thing different in the enclosure!
I would still like a sweet creature in the water portion, so any suggestions on a cleaner...non spine, no teeth, non toxic fish you have would ne great..I like bamboo shrimp for this, I dont have the current in this tank it needs....
