was wondering if you had any updated pictures of your tank? I am going to be converting my 55 african tank to native as well.

hey man. yeah my tank looks totally different now...its not "stream-like" anymore. i know have the 20 gallon long as the stream tank. the 55 is half stream, half "chillax" zone.

well you are from philly...im trying to plan a trip...look in the local section on this site. im from mass but want to go to western pa, or ohio, or virginia....somewhere else and there are lots of darters there. so hopefully we can coordinate something and you can meet some members and join us and you can get some fish that you may not be able to get in your area.

those are fairly common...although the bass will out grow the 55 realllll quick...but catching those are way different then using a seine and catching some cool darters. everytime i go im like a kid in candy store. i just have the most incredible times.
