I really don't know if there are secrets. I have had one for almost a year, and I certainly don't know any secrets. All I ever did was put him in the tank.

nothing new in the article all it says is that you need a well matured tank with lots of rock (readers digest version)

the problem with buying this mag is that it is a year in review and it is real benificial for people with no internet but for thoes of us that have internet and use it... well we heard it all befor or we have moved on to a new method by the time this comes out.
