            Justin White's Second Aquarium
 
 
  
 
 
 Name:  Justin "seiji" White.  Tank Details: 55 Gallon Wal-Mart special which has turned out to be a really nice tank.  The Fish: 1 blush golden angel fish, 1 marble angel fish, 1 plecostomus, 4 koolie loaches, 4 albino cory cats, 2 peppered cory cats, 2 bleeding heart tetras, 4 zebra danios(2 long fin, 2 short), 6 red serpae tetras, 3 black skirt tetras, 1 female blue gourami, 1 dwarf gourami, 2 white cloud mountain minnows, 2 turquoise austrailian rainbows, and one very large comet goldfish.   Comments: I know the goldfish is a cold water fish but I had
              no choice.  He was a rescue case.  My baby sister won him at a county
              fair and had him in a cereal bowl.  The poor thing was less than an
              inch long and wouldn't move, just sit there and twitch.  He is now 
              5" long and very happy.  The tank has medium size natural colored gravel about 2" thick. 
              There is a combination of live and plastic plants, large and small
              polyresin driftwood and some lare rocks for the koolies to hide 
              under.  There is an external power filter that came with the 
              aquarium that really does a great job.  I feed them Wardley tropical
              flakes with color enhancers, Wardley shrimp pellets, and Wardley
              sinking algae disk for the loaches, corys, and pleco.  As a 
              treat, about once a week I give them two cubes of freeze dried 
              tubifex worms, which the koolies and corys actually come up to
              the top to eat.  The background is just a simple roll out background
              on the outside of the tank.  This was my first tank over 29 
              gallons, but was also just the begining.
