What's wrong with orange, green and purple? ?

Haha! Nothing of your going for a glo tank! Lol. I will say some of the blue really brings out the colors of a turquoise severum lol

at least she’s into it! one of the few…

I am VERY thankful that she is a devoted fish hobbyist as well. It's our common ground basically. My best memories with the fish have her in them

Cleaning ladies can be quite the hidden danger to fish, can't they? Your case reminds me of something else (look in the comments for the bot that says what was deleted): https://www.reddit.com/r/AmItheAsshole/comments/opuygh

I once knew a dude who had a clown knife in a 20g. Apparently the guy at the store said they grew to the size of the tank.
