Hi SteveM, thanks for getting back to me. The fish that I have in this 55 gal. tank on average is about 2 to maybe 3 inches. I know I am about reaching my limit. The tank has been up for a little over 3 weeks. I know I am flirting with disaster on that also. But I am constantly checking my PH and amonia levels, and the numbers are good. Matter of fact, a few days back I bought a seachem PH monitor, and ammonia monitor that I attached inside the tank, and its giving me back those great readings. I also do my water changes once a week of about 20%. When I first started this tank, I bought that python syphon. Boy, that is a big help, rather then schlepping buckets of water. Just yesterday, I bought 9 cardinal tetras. Today when I woke up and checked my tank, my 9 cardinal tetras turned into 5 cardinal tetras. Somebody in that tank had a good breakfast. I learned an unfortunate lesson, which is not to buy small fish. I know I am reaching my limit for the amount of fish to have, so I am going to cool it, and not buy any more fish. Take care SteveM, and thanks for your advice, and help.
