Hi there! I'm new to this forum but not new to fish. I'm 15, and a few years back I bought a really cool looking Pleco and 3 black skirt tetras without research from petsmart. I had my little crew in a 10 gallon, but after further research and identification I learned the pleco i had was a bristle nose and I would need a bigger tank. In my search for info about my pleco, I also learned about cycling... And what my fish were going through. After a lucky fish-in cycle and an API master kit purchase I was hooked. I upgraded to a 29 gallon and finished out my tetra school, and added another school of cherry barbs. I did a fish less cycle and everything was going great! Fast forward to high school... Whoops. College is coming fast and I need to get smaller. I don't have the time or the money to take care of my babies anymore. It's starting to show, as I lost my pleco a couple days back. I feel horrible to see the tank going downhill, and they need a good home. I still have all of the tetras (those things are bulletproof I swear) and three female cherry barbs. I'd love to sell the tank to someone that could fix it up and make it look good again, but that's a post for the classifieds. I'm also here because I would love to start a nice little 5 gallon betta tank that I could take care of and take to college with me. That and selling the big tank are why I figured I'd join, because I don't want my babies going to someone on craigslist that might not take care of them. So hi and sorry for the novel haha, I look forward to getting to know you guys!
