Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi everyone! My name is Audrea (go by Oddi online... long story haha) and I'm from Falcon, Colorado.
Umm... let's see. I am on my Summer break right now from college so most of my time is spent working at a gift shop in the Springs, hanging out with my boyfriend (Dex) of 3.5 years, or playing with my pets. Right now I have one miniature horse, one bantam chicken, one cat (with kittens at the moment), two dogs, and of course, my fishies.
I currently have two 55 gallon set-ups. One is an established tropical community tank and the other is fairly new and being used to house my about 40 swordtail fry that were born just last Friday (YAY I've been waiting FOREVER). When the fry are big enough to go into my community tank (not ALL of them, of course), I will be re-vamping my second tank. I'm looking for pointers on keeping live plants, especially with semi-aggressive fish. My newest challenge will be to change the gravel from hideous neon rocks (came with the tank... such a deal on craigslist) to eco-complete plant substrate without having to deal with re-cycling my tank (I have fish in there). Any tips would be appreciated.
