i guess i kind of hit the ground running. got draged to an eral may with my mom. she wanted plants, and i wandered into the fish section.I saw dragon gobies, clown knives, gars, and other specific types of fish. I was kind of hypnotised by the site. worked my ass off all summer and bought a 55 For $130. it came with a striped rapheal 4", an unidentified type of synodontis 4", and a 6" pleco. I still have the raph cat. he is a t a fat 6" and is one of my favorates. i don't think the syno has grown at all. they both keep to themselves
