i am thinking of either selling or giving away my 10 gallon fish tank and accesories for a small adoption price thinking of getting a kitten instead

lmw80 · 07-23-2006, 07:06 PM

Do you have ant other tanks?

WaterPond · 07-23-2006, 08:07 PM

aww, thats too bad, but your choice. Any fish in the tank? If so, amke sure they go to a good home, and teach the people you are giving it to how to properly care for it, and the fish.

i just have the ten gallon i have set up then another tank that is not setup with just the rocks and tank in the basement just collecting dust

Please, lovefishies; don't get a kitten or any other animal until you are sure you give it a good home and that your husband is not going to harm it.

I reviewed some of your other posts; it seems like there might be some worry for an animal's long-term safety and security, as well as perhaps your own. Be careful when thinking of adding another pet. And stay safe yourself.

I'm concerned, and I know some other members of the forum probably are as well.

i decided to keep my tank and not get a kitten i forgot to mention that i have 5 baby guppies they are getting big they are so cute to i have 3 in the 10 gallon now and still 2 in the 1 gallon because they are to small yet to go in the 10 gallon should i get any algae eaters or should i wait longer till guppies get bigger?

you really don't need to have an algae eater in a tank. if you want something in case you do get algae I would recommend a snail or two - they're alot of fun to watch and don't get as big as the algae eaters, and they come in some great colors

lovefishies · 07-29-2006, 06:28 PM

i cant get any more fish because i need to get a new car

i wanted more fishies

If your baby guppies end up being male and female you'll have more fish anyway.

that has to be the saddest, most pathetic sentence ive ever read, but it made me laugh

make sure you seperate the male and female guppies before they get mature, otherwise they dont get colorful at all, and end up being feeder fish...
