here's where I should start

Hi!
Im nancy, user name asparagus. I live in NJ in the US of A. Im in my late 30s, mom to 3 kids (Allie, 10- Brad 8, Christian 4) and 4 kitties (Ghosty, Kelly, Snowflake and Felix). Im an aide in a preschool program for mildly disabled kids in my local public school- I love the job entirely. Our class just got a 10 gal tank to which we added a female dwarf gourami, 3 platies and what we THOUGHT was a corycat but is really a baby blue channel catfish (yikes!). We lost a platy and the gourami due to cycling issues (we really didnt know anything- its amazing we only lost 2). Anyway, Im hooked. I cant stay away from this 10 gal during my breaks and play time.
So I decided to go ahead and get a 10 gal of my own. Then I decided to get a 20 gal long instead. Now Im up to a 29 gal (which I have not yet purchased) and possible down the road 2 more 20 gals - Im finding new spots in my house daily to put another fish tank. grin.
So thats me!
I love this site! Spent a few hours last night perusing and went right to it first thing this morning!
Hope to learn more soon!
thanks, Nancy asparagus

Hi Asparagus and to TFF. I was born at Patterson Army Hospital in Fort Monmouth (near Asbury Park), NJ. Do you know if it's still around?

In all honesty, the bigger, the better. Get the biggest tank you can afford and make room for. That way you have an amazing showpiece, a more stable environment for the fish, and a wider variety of fish to choose from.

I hope your kids (those at home and school ) like the tank(s) and fish.
