Hi and many thanks for the friendly welcome by Little fish, Matt, and Fcmf on this network.
I am continuing happily with my WCMM in my small tank and have both brown /gray variety and the gold (I have since added a few more).
My dream aquarium, Matt asked? Tee hee hee. I was thinking neon tetras when I bought this mature tank from a college kid (near perfect water, beautifully balanced chemistry, java moss, and 4wcmm). I've since changed my ambitions to finding a cold water fish that could live with my WCMM and ideally it would be small and blue. Still looking. THe near perfect water and balanced chem still are there, so are teh fish, but the java moss is failing I suspect because we have somewhat hard tap water 7.6 - 8.0 in my area. Maybe brown from something else?
Am trying to post a picture of my tank as requested (thanks for the request!) but the website isn't cooperating w/my image file or vice versa.
Am enjoying reading a lot of good posts on this site and discovering what others care for and think about.
I visit an official aquarists' club on Monday next (Boston aquarium society = BAS) where I will join some people who assemble each month in Boston, MA to talk and play with fish. Giving it a try. More on this later! Take care.
