Aquarium Advice Activist
I see that someone has already made a post about the same thing...But I just have to share my experience also.
Yesterday, my neighbours were having a garage sale, since they are moving soon. I noticed an aquarium, so I went over to check it out. I was amazed at the great deal I could get. It was a 20 gal that already had lots of nice gravel, a big rock and another ornament, a background, a filter, a heater, and the hood with a fluorescent light. All this for only $25. At Petsmart, this kit would be about $130 and wouldn't even come with decorations and gravel. So I must say, I got a good deal here.
Before setting this up, is there anything important that I should be doing? Perhaps cleaning the gravel very well, and scrubbing the sides...?
I would also like to have some suggestions on what fish I could put in here? I was thinking something different...I already own tons of platies, larger tetras, and danios in the house already.
I am really looking forward to getting started
