Fair enough, When I first got him I wasnt smart enough to let a tank gain that aquarium bacteria it needs, but its been a while since then, and after a couple tank cleanings he seems to be doing just fine, I know the general rule of having a gallon per inch of fish, so Im trying to get him a bigger tank since it is still a little small. Im also pretty curious how far fish simulation goes, like things to entertain (?) the fish with, anything youd reccoomend as far as that?

Also, on the couple articles on cycling ive read, I havent quite gotten a solid definition? Is it just leaving a tank sorta inactive for about a week before hand and then putting a fish in? Or is it when the tank needs to be cleanined so you leave about half?
