Guess What I Got

[020292]

~ Well some of you may or may not know but i have a 10 gallon and i have been saving up for another 10 gallon becuase for a kit (which includes everything but the stand and gravel and decor and fish) it is 30 dollars! When i went to my church garage sale there was a fish tank with lots of extras (food, test kits, gravel, light, but no filter and iasked the price and they said 10 bucks! It even had the stand and it was not a 10 gallon for sure and i got it home and it was a 30 gallon! I was so ecited!

I am not sure if i am going to go tropical or goldfish yet? What should i go with?

Thanks!

tropical or brackish

tropical or brackish

It's all up to you, what you prefer... But I'd personally go with tropical!

Congratulations on the bargain find!

I'd consider a biotope. they usually look very nice though they can be a bit of a challenge.

well if your in to REALLY low maintenance, make it a goldfish tank, but personally the best starter tank is a tropical (warm water) freshwater tank, due to the large selection of fish readily available.

brackish works, but requires slightly more effort on your part.

whatever you choose, best of luck,

oh yeah, probably gonna wanna spend the money for a decent filter if you go tropical

i am going to do goldfish becuase i think they are easier and plus i have double the filteration i need!

Thanks!

good deal. seems like a waste for goldfish though. is that a cory in the corner? that tape is there to secure the mesh right?

 

[Die_Grinder]

a cory in cold water not good IMO. you may want to move the filter outlets away from the bubble bar, or your filter will take in alot of air.

tank looks great tho

yeh like seriously is that an albino cory in the corner

 

[helsekia]

looks like a cory to me as well hope not!

needs more plant.more rock a good find thouigh well done.

 

[Phoenixfish]

a tall plant would be ace as its a tall tank, and save the cory

Sweet, garage sales and rummage sales are great deals to find stuff like that. Also, are you going to add a little more gravel to cover up the other side a little more

P.S. TAKE THE TAPE OFF

i can see a guppy and a cory in there, i think you should take them back to the pet shop and get 1 more goldfish other wise the 2 tropicals might die

With a single goldfish in a 10g, you are fully stocked.

Whoever also said that goldfish are low maintenance is also incorrect. They are messy eaters, grow large, and need plenty of swimming room. The fact you don't need a heater does not mean they need less maintenance.
