Aquarium Advice Regular
Hi Guys,
I'm a stay at home mother of 2 in Scotland who has only recently started keeping an aquarium.
My mum bought my 4 year old a 5 gallon tank, gravel and lots of fish. They died. They were replaced. Unknown to me this cycle went on for around 6 months.
Five months ago I found out the mortality rate they had racked up between them and despite hating fish I confiscated the tank. I got good advice from a local fish specialist, got a filter and various other bits and bobs and started a new tank to try to keep our 2 surviving gold mountain minnows. Since then I have become obsessed with them! I also have not lost a fish
I couldn't wait to get rid of the tiny tank and today I set up our new 45 litre tank. If you had told me 10 years ago how excited I would be about a fish tank I'd have called you a liar!
I'm here to expand my knowledge before I upgrade to a bigger tank (My husband thinks we don't have space for a bigger tank but I'll sell the kids on ebay if I have to) so please feel free to chip in your tuppence worth.
Nice you meet you guys
