    NINH= Nooby In Need of Help

    frag rack?

    Lol I know. I got depressed reading the thread as you got lower and lower on supplies. I'd probably order one online before rolling my own for something like that. If I get the itch though then you'll get a pm ;)

    Who is bigger?

    Yeah was gonna say the same thing. I decided against a pair of maroons in my biocube 29 because of the size. Dennys had some juvi maroons that were very tempting. I got some nice juvi occys instead. A bta is gonna outgrow your bc14 as well inside of a year.

    BTA Propigation/Fragging?

    How long do they take before they look normal and healthy again? Maybe that x2 for good measure. Are you halving or quartering them?
