hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobics?

I betcha he's even breeding those!!!

I'd love to see some hippopotomonster crosses at my LFS! How big a tank they need?
 
LMAO!!! THAT'S MY PROBLEM EXACTLY!!!
I've got two empty 75s and another 40B setting up soon. Gotta build the stands 1st and will still need more tanks (maybe 2 more 75s) cuz they're guarding almost 1000 week old fry and haven't seen any decline in their numbers. I don't start my dempseys on pulverized flake. They start getting that at 1 week and ween them off 1st food by 2.5 to 3 weeks.
OPs state 2/3 losses in 1st week alone... MY ARSE!!!
They're not doing something right, and the 1st prob is evidently (but not explicitly... apathy, lazy, or innept, or some combination).
 
I like to keep a few empty spare tanks around. Unfortunately, lately my empty tank count is about 40 tanks from 100gal to a couple of stacks of my spare 450s (We're currently only using 2 of the 30 450s).
