Dissing me
You can Dis me all you want. My fish are happy, eating growing and breeding. The adults have thrived this way for over 2 years. :?

Breeding Season
I live in Canada. The next question I have is based on setting up a breeding arrangement of fish. I have 14 fish and they seem to have bred come and go in the caves I use. When I had one male out with his babies I would place a new cave in the exact same place. (The only place in the 70 gallon they ...
