Thanks to you all with your comments. I love my fish. All of them are so much fun to watch. The barbs and danios are always moving. The balas are a little apprehensive.
I have 3 of them. They are so pretty.

Nice clean look to your tank. I think that I might get me a few Bala Sharks soon.

I love the Bala Sharks! If (more like "when") I upgrade to a larger tank a Bala or two is definitely on my "must have" list.

Thanks, I have had a problem with nitrite and did lose 3 fish. It was quite sad. But after numerous water changes it has gone down.

COBettaCouple

that's too bad, we're sorry you lost them. are live plants an option for you?

jpunk9

I have never really thought about live plants. Do they help keep down nitrites? Mine go down then come up and I do my water change and then they go down again. I also use Prime. Are live plants pretty easy to take care of as well?

COBettaCouple

oops.. i misread your post.. live plants help with nitrates. we've not done that good with live plants overall.. but a lot of members have done really well with theirs.
