@MrAryaG The fish in the condo is johanni. The bigger guys were picking on him and had lots of fin damage from it and tore up half his skin exposing all his flesh. He literally looked like he was going to die. And after a month of being in there everything grew back from his fins, to his skin. Quite shocking that he even recouperated from all of that.

@Shinie877 It was by very annoying converting because scrubbing the algae, salt grimes , and probably diseases were all over the tank. I mixed a solution of dilited bleach and than just cleaned the imside thoroughly and rinsed it many many times. I really took my time doing it with no rushing. I hope this answers your question! Also thank you again for all your comments ;)

And this is a freshwater tank that was converted from a saltwater tank.

Thank you all for the comments! I do two week 20% water changes, filter with only poly filter pads and bio media, and do 3 small meals for the fish. I also do montthly dose of acurel f for that polished look!
