Aquarium Advice Addict
Hey guys and gals, I have been on here for a few months, but I never really introduced my self, so I will now
My name is Sydney, my user name is from my horse, Scotty, and I have been mistaken for a boy many times because of it, just thought I would put that out so it doesn't happen again
So hopefully with this thread, I will meet some more nice people, which I would love too
So, to the build!

Fauna
(Open To discussion)
1 Upside Down Cat
2 German Blue Rams
5 Hatchet Fish
5 Tetra or Rasbora, need advice!
I am going to have a few Cichlid stones in there, a piece of drifwood, and then all the plants. For gravel, I am going to mix 50% plant substrate, and 50% gravel for on top.
I have $175 from Christmas money to spend, at Petsmart, and we are going on Thursday. Since we live about 1 hour from Petsmart, I am going to be bad, and buy the Upside Down Cat before the Silent Cycle happens, because I only want to have to make my mom do a couple trips in there, and I only want to have to order the Rams, because I am cheap
I am going to put my order for plants in today, because it takes 4 days for them to get here, and don't want to get them before I set the tank up.
If I can find one cheap, I may also grab a 5 gallon, for a dwarf puffer fish tank.
So, that's about it for now, please chime in with advice!
