-Yet another baffled victim of a fish that decided to go MIA.

I just put up one picture I took of my two Dolls.

It's not a very good picture because a) my tank is going through "new
tank syndrom" and is unusually cloudy at the moment, and b) they seem
to
be extremely shy of the camera :-) You can get a good idea of their
looks. They've really grown on me, even just over the past few days.
Watching their water acrobatics is great fun.

When doing your gravel vacuuming, push the pipe down and don't rake
across. You might actually be doing too much gravel vacuuming to start
the tank off. With goldfish, that situation changes pretty quickly ;~).
The cloudy water is usually completely harmless, but keep an eye on your
NH3/NO2 and NO3. You might want to add a 2nd filter at some point. UGFs
do clog quickly with certain fish (goldfish, oscars, plecs etc), though I
think that you should be fine for a while. hth
