| Hello everyone.Went to do a water change on my albino tank and found all the media tray on the aqua clear 70 had pushed up and was over flowing on the floor,fixed and cleaned up.Went down stairs to check the brand new aqua clear ( bought today) and found that it was leaking out of the motor housing,an other hour to clean up.Getting ready to go to bed so I go to shut the lights off in my 90 gal.tank and find my $70.00 gold nugget Dead on the bottom.The only good thing was the pet store gave me a new filter with out any hassel.

| The lowest price I have seen in Edmonton Canada is $70.00.As for sexing them what I have read is that the females have a shorter breast plate than the males an, the females are a lot plumper.As for breading fairly difficult if I am not mistaken,but not to sure. Chris |
