someone set up my aquarium only three or four weeks ago -- he was a real cool guy has traveled all over the world setting up huge aquaria . . . i was lucky to find him.
he's allowed me two fish (although i stretched it to three) while the aquarium is "cycling" -- i hope i'm using that word correctly. i've been looking for interesting plants . . . but really need a book . . . if anyone has suggestions for a book on aquarium plants i'd appreciate hearing about it.
i'm feeding tetra tropical crisps . . . the container calls for one crisp (about the size a three-hole punch punches out of a piece of paper) per inch of linear body length two or three times a day. i've been feeding twice a day during the week and then three times a day on the weekend.
i had an aquarium -- i think about a 25-gallon -- about 25 or 30 years ago and really enjoyed it . . . but when i moved from los angeles to kansas city (why oh why?!?) i sold it and have missed having one ever since.
i was always on the lookout for odd and interesting inhabitants for my aquarium -- so much so, that i had a dream. it's still very vivid all these years later.
i dreamed i had a little six-inch-long walrus . . . a six-inch-long dolphin . . . and sitting on the rock i had provided for my turtles . . . a six-inch-long mermaid combing her hair. i've never been so disappointed as when i awoke the next morning and discovered none of it was to be.
i hope to learn a lot from you folks -- let the advice begin!
