Good idea for a thread! lets look at the bright things in life! i got my pond and it got algae but i put some meds in and it has never been clearer! two fish i thought were dead came out for a swim today, my pike is coming out more since the oscars not there to bully him, i am gonna get a 45 inch or larger tank soon! my lfs should get some more pikes and apisto's soon! in a couple of day i am going on a fishin trip soon!, i recently got an article published in the tfh magazine! and last but not least, i found this thread
