Re: [Tropical Aquaria] New to group and Tropical fish keeping

Thanks Dave

I'm not too good at maths LOL so how many fish would you say I was
thinking of getting a pack with all the fish from a guy on ebay but
not sure if it would be too many for my size tank (His feedback looks
ok though) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?

Would this be too many fish for my tank?

Jim

PS sorry to hear of your passing I know how you feel about losing
them we had cold water fish for about 3 years they felt like part of
the family and they all died within a few weeks of each other we've
since found out it was something called fin rot a few of them even
grew to a fair size but we've bought another tank for the tropical
set up just to be on the safe side
