    My 10g (and also what I've been up to)

    So, for those of you who haven't seen me around (or read my threads), I've got a 5g and a 10g. The 5g is empty and the 10g has 1 skirt and 3 corys. I was pretty sure I was going to give up fishkeeping after my tragedy.... I thought it was my fault, but my other 2 skirts lost both their eyes...

    5 gallon tank, just getting started.

    I'll see if I can get her to reconsider. The more cleaners the better :3

    Sorry for the double post >.<;; Apparently my Mom decided to veto the ghost shrimp >.> The betta and mystery snail are fine, but apparently the ghost shrimp "look like a bunch of little mistakes" 0_o I thought they were cute... >.> I'm assuming it's either ghost shrimp or no ghost shrimp in...

    Aaaw, how cute ^_^ I saw 3 at my good LFS, I'm kind of excited about getting them :3 Anything important I need to know about em? PS: Got a filter and heater today, marineland stelathpro shatterproof heater (50w) and an AquaClear20. I know the AquaClear is good, but I wanted to double check...

    What was your first FW fish?

    A very colorful purple/red/blue/green betta fish. I named her Goldy, because she had so much purple. She was a trial pet for a cat I never got :/ She died 5 years later for unknown reasons. We buried her in the yard...

    Yeah, I was gonna add them in a few at a time. First the 2 skirts I have, then the next 4 tetras, then the Dwarf Gourami, then 3-5 Catfishys. 3 seems like a better number than 5 to me personally. Hopefully I'll have most of the gravel/decos in the tank before I get the Dwarf. :3 You guys are...

    Wow, your tank is so much prettier than mine :3 and such a cute fishy ^.^ I'll look out for mystery snails. I'm sold on the Crowntail (They're absolutely gorgeous!) and I had my brothers at Ghost Shrimp. Is it bad manners to copy someones stock? :/ (Need to get that 10 gallon together! *reads...

    Yeah, remind me to never measure anything with paper again >.> What kind of snail should I get/How should I set up a 10 gallon for cheap? My mom thinks it would be easier to set up an enitrley new ecosystem than it would be to return 2 fish >.> I love her to death but, I have no faith in her...

    5 gallon tank, just getting started.

    My friend lives in Canada, she's been helping me from the internet :3 But I bring water samples to my local non-petsmart store (Pet Supermarket) whenever I buy crickets. I'll ask them to write everything down when I go in later today. I did some research, I knew that 4-6 Tetras would be ok for...

    I knew we should have done more research before buying the skirts >.> I do not have a test kit, nor do I even know where I would go about finding one. I'm kind of scared to go back to the local Petsmart, they were NOT nice to me about getting a replacement bulb for my Gecko. ;_; I actually have...

    Yeah yeah, I know... the Fluval Chi is an overpriced tank sold to people who don't know anything about fish (At least, that's what my fishy friend told me.) My mom bought it for my little brother because he was "lonely" one weekend while the rest of us went camping, which is the worst reason...

    Pokemon fan with a Fluval Chi 5g

    Thanks for the warm welcome everyone :3 I did. I Rinsed the gravel in small handfuls in hot water, scrubbed down the sides, sprayed with a hose, soaped, and then made sure to rinse the soap out. Cleaned out the filter, rinsed that icky grass at the bottom, then filled it with tap water...

    Pokemon fan with a Fluval Chi 5g

    Hey, new to this forum, it looked helpful so I thought I'd go ahead and register. I've owned a beta fish in the past, and currently own a Leapord Gecko and a dog. I don't like the dog. My mom saw fit to go buy a Fluval Chi and proceeded to not maintain it for 6 months. Now that I'm in charge...
