Thanx I guess I was hoping for a different answer but from what I've read on them that sounds about right exept the first. I've had mine about 14 months he's not doing to good I think it might be time to cull.
p.s. What happened to the first one?

I've got the answer 4 that one. LFS (local fish store). Nothing against anyone that might work at one that knows what there doing and cares but all to often at least in my area the workers are young untrained and inexperienced which leads to sick fish with shortend life spans.
