Question
Hi,
  i have some green terror fry that are in a tank of there own and they are about 1 inch.
the water in the tank is brown for some reason why is that?

Answer
Hi Brendon,
  It is highly unlikely that the water being brown has any direct relationship
with the green terror fry.  The usual thing that makes water brown is having a
piece of wood in the tank that is releasing tanins.  The solution is to increase
the frequency of water changes.
