Aquarium Advice Regular
I'm so excited! After all of the research and preparation, I bought my first fish last night! Actually, it was my first 12 fish... I was almost late for work because I didn't want to leave this morning! I was too busy checking out the aquarium and making sure everyone was eating.
Thank you to everyone that's given me advice thus far (and will probably end up giving plenty more)!
I started out with:
3 Opaline Gouramis
3 Giant Danios
3 Red Velvet Swordtails
3 Tiger Barbs
The swordtails and Barbs were a last minute decision (in place of the Mollies that the LFS rep said weren't nearly as hearty), but they're probably my favorite of the bunch! They all seem to be eating (and pooping up a storm) but the Gouramis have been pretty shy thus far... all 3 of them have been hanging out in the top back corners of the tank although one of them was a little more curious this morning. I can't believe how voracious an eater the Danios are... the 3 of them start swimming around so fast when the food starts falling that the other fish have to get the food in other parts of the tank (or else they might not get any). That's about it for now. Time to get to work...
