i went to petsmart today to pick up an xp3 for my 75 when low and behold, they were out, after five visits to the store, they were out again. i ended up with the xp2. well anyways, theyve been having problems with thier filters and such not putting enough oxygen in the water or w/e so i looked aroundand only saw about 5 tanks with fish in them. after noticing this little guy floating in the top corner of his tank i asked the lady if she knew whether or not he was dead as it was hard to tell and she sed i dont know so i got him for 3 dollars. after i put him in my tank, he swam around and was eating so i guess hes fine. any idea as to what type? i know hes not albino, he, or she, has black eyes.

yup. u got ur answer with anne.. anyway ur birchir seems slightly jumpy(i came to this conclusion as ur birchir is surfing on the top of the tank, when it is suppose to be at the bottom, moreover u jus got this guy home.)

do rem to cover the tank yea?

cheers :)
 
And its looking like a male to me too-Anne
 
How much does an xp3 at petsmart run? like $175 or so right? You can get them for $90 shipped at bigals right now!
 
yah the tank is covered. he likes to rest in between the leaves of the sword and jump at unsuspecting neons, seriously its funny, he cant even fit them in his mouth. he's pretty accomodated now. he swims all over the bottom "playing" with the arabesque pleco and SAE's. (that's the first pic ive gotten of the lil plec since ive had him for a month or so)

i picked up the xp2 for 70 dollars. it was marked at 140 but i printed the price from online and they gave me ten bucks off for not having the xp3 in stock. yah the xp3's are about 170 in the store and 105 online. overnight the tank looked sooooooo much clearer with the xp2 and its extremely quiet. the goldfish pic pretty much shows how the water was before with two or three w/c's a week and one marineland bio-wheel 400. the last pic shows the tank now rearranged with the bio-wheel xp2 and cascade 200 internal. h/o for a se with the pics. its being difficult.
