dsaavedra wild fish keeper Dec 27, 2008 213 0 0 Feb 9, 2009 #10 forget tropical fish! i keep native fish :headbang2: i've had this tank stocked from the start, so i guess it doesn't feel like such a big accomplishment to cycle it now since it isn't like i can finally add fish. but it's definitley good to know that my biofilter is well built up now
