ouch lucy that hurt but i agree with it i have said to myself a hundred times since then that if i could havegone back and bought the tank first i would have but its done and i will not return my dempsey.i still plan to get a 55 gallon tank very soon and now he is probly going to be the only fish in there. but never did i say that i was getting one in a week or two.i have only had them a total of 1 month and i hope to get a tank within less than another
