yeah, my PH from the tap is like 7.9 and I have GBR fry growing in it. I think PH isn't that much of an issue as long as it isn't off the charts either way and you slowly acclimate the fish to your PH.

I do think that's alot of white though... but I think (assuming you really get an albino and not whichever one who won't let you leave without taking him home) you could break it up with some darker rock and some driftwood (which will lower your PH some too). If you end up not liking it, you can always change it later.... and at least you only have to catch one slower fish rather than 20 speedy ones! LOL

Haha no kidding Virgo, I'm guessing it will take anywhere from 30mins to 45mins to catch all of my africans tomorow...NOT looking forward to that...
But, I will definatly get the oscar that is the most healthy and just jumps out at me, I would prefer an Albino, but I will still definatly give Tigers or any other type that the LFS has a chance to come home with me.
Dang, I'm really excited now, I've been thinking about doing this for a long time, and I'm finally getting an oscar! :D

You need to sign on yahoo... Jess was telling me to chat with you yesterday because you were thinking of getting an oscar, but I can't use MSN untill I get my comp fixed.... :(

Good luck tomorrow! LOL Me and hubby had to get all the rasboras and danios out of my mom's tank to put the yellow labs in, it was not fun, I can't imagine trying to catch that many fish as fast, but smarter! LOL

Well, yesterday I got them! I ended up getting 2 oscars, an albino and a tiger. I know, I know, dont yell at me! 2 oscars in a 56 wont work, blah blah! :p BUT I was planning on getting a 72bow or 75 anyways, or another 55gal tank. So they will eventually have their own tanks. They are both about 1.5 inches (really small) and already eating like little pigs. I dont have any pics yet because my dad refuses to buy new batteries...grr
But yeah, I'll get pics later today after I beg for new batteries :p
Im so excited!! :D
