Hello all,

[theusedmyr]

well.... I've been directed to this site many times from google, and yahoo, asking questions about things relating to my tank. I've found this forum EXTREMELY helpful, so i finally decided to join. The tank I have right now is the first tank I've ever had, and besides from some problems I had starting it up it is going really well right now. Its only a 10 gallon, as i do not have the money, or space, (just graduated high school last month and live with my dad.) to get a bigger tank. (although I'd love to.) after getting some fish to cycle my tank, wished I'd just done it fishless, i finally got a pleco. (rubber lip) he was getting lonely so i recently bought some neon tetra, 5, because i love their colors. I met this guy who told me about amazon black water tanks and after that, i decided to go for that sort of set up. i know with a small tank its not the best idea, but i really love the neon tetra, and plants and what not. i just put the 2nd piece of driftwood in my tank (i have 3 amazon swords and one anubias) and now im waiting for a couple days til i buy 2 corydoras. After that i will just be trying to get my hands on java moss... (still kind of deciding) then i think i will be done. until i can purchase a larger tank

i would GREATLY appreciate any suggestions and comments on my tank, as i am still fairly new to this. sorry for the massive thread....
