    I've done a Bad Thing

    First of all, let me say hello. I've been a member here for a while, but I lurk far more than I post. Now, on to the post! Today I got a few new inhabitants for my 10 gallon. For a few weeks the only little guy living in there was a particularly brave ghost shrimp who was the sole survivor...

    5.5 VS 10 Gallon Debate

    You are a bad, bad person. Enabling and encouraging a poor college student's developing addiction! For shame! :p Although I do think shrimp would be a fun endeavor at some point (just not right now...). Thanks for the moving tips! That's mostly how I moved my 5.5 when I went home for breaks...

    5.5 VS 10 Gallon Debate

    Thanks for the info, BigJim! I knew a larger tank would be more stable, but I had no idea that the volume increased that much from a 5.5 to a 10. I'm pretty sure I've been convinced to go with the bigger one (shouldn't be too much harder to transport, after all). The more I look at nerites...

    Any advice or suggestions?

    Thank you guys very much! I kind of figured it would be a good idea to get the cycle out of the way. Neilanh, thanks for that site! And I'll look into cories, seeing as I know just about nothing about them. Another quick question, with a 5.5g, what type of heater would be recommended? I...

    Any advice or suggestions?

    Hello everyone! I'm currently working on getting all my stuff together for a 5.5 gallon (FW) tank. I believe I have most of what I need (still working on a heater and some lighting). I'm planning on getting a male betta, possibly some neon tetras, since my roommate loves them, but not for a...

    Mom adopted yet /another/ betta last night from Petco.

    Good for your mom for rescuing! :) I was at my local PetCo the other day and was appalled by their bettas, all in about the same condition as you described. It seems that (in my experience, at least) Petco's bettas are typically in less-than-good health as compared to other stores, thought I...

    Newbie!

    Hello all! I'm Amaranth. I've been looking around for a friendly aquarium-related community, and I think this place looks just about perfect! Please allow me to give a brief introduction. As I said earlier, most people refer to me as Amaranth (or ranth, if we're getting to nicknames). I'm a...
