COMMENTS

well done..have beautiful fish, but got rid of mine. i too had acei and demasoni but my acei one day all got together and smoked one of my blood parrots so I got rid of them and the demasoni which are a beautiful fish were too ummm should just be kept in one tank with a bunch of them. them and the yellow labs do really well together. sorry man, i tend to ramble, BEAUTIFUL TANK....

Thanks! The rocks are called Lace Rock. It is a type of limestone. I purchased them from a local fish store in my area for 1.99 a lb. Not only does it look good but it also serves a purpose by keeping the pH high. Soon to be more updates!
