for breeding convicts you need the following:

male convict
female convict

then just add water.

What's boring about that?? albino

I'm just partial to the Africans, I don't really know why. I think that 360 would be spectacular full of large groups of mbuna or even Tangs.

It's okay, though. We still have Norm's tank coming along. Very Happy
