Subj : Newbie from Italy To : All From : Max@rome.Italy Date : Thu Apr 08 2004 08:10 am Hi everybody! I am a newbie in keeping tank and I am very interested about this newsgroup. I am sorry for my english but as you can see, I am an italian exactly from Rome. Well, I have a 40 lt. tank of freshwater with a guppy, 3 platys, 6 neons, 1 coridoras and 4 shrimps. I have some questions for some experts and I hope I can have some easy suggestions. 1) Is it possible to recognize the gender of neon? 2) what is the right amount of plants needed for a correct setup? 3) how can i emphasize the colour of fishes naturally (I mean not chemically)? Thanks a lot and best regards...
