    i wouldn't say im doing everything right but i do try... thank godness not all my fish are breeding as i'd be in big trouble for tank space... at one point all my tanks had heater's, filters and then i moved lots broke and now alot of my tanks arnt running...had to sell up alot of my fish... need to get about 45 1ft tanks and about 10 2ft just for my siamese fighters, never mind my malawi projects and frontosa projects... hopefully the breeding will bring in some cash to buy more tanks
