    Glass Top or No ?

    I agree. I use to keep the top off my 72 bow tank until I found my 3 year old using his plastic fishing pole one day. He had the line and plastic hook in the fish tank!!!LOL!!

    Question on Harliquin Tusk...

    I have a 125 gallon FOWLR tank. I want to add a Harliquin Tusk. My fear is that it will eat my Green Mandorin. Does anybody on this forum have experience with a Harliquin Tusk living in a tank with a Mandorin?
