hey there! I am obviously new here. I joined because I have always been interested in fish and have finally begun to take having an aquarium seriously! I grew up with us always having a male betta fish in a 2 gallon hectagon tank with an air stone. Obviously that's not ideal, but our fish did all last for years! But it was just the basics (and only recently have I really figured that out) where we just add tetra betasafe to tap water, feed betta flakes every day, and use a gravel vacuum to clean the tank whenever it 'started to get dirty'.
I am 21 years old, and have been reading up more and more on fish tanks and fish! I have learned a lot but I thought joining a forum would be a more direct way of getting answers to some of my questions.
I am going to start out with freshwater aquariums and hopefully over the years I will work my way up to salt water. I have recently gotten a 10 gallon aquarium that I am going to soon be moving my current betta(who just recovered from mild fin rot, so I won my first battle against a fish disease, too!) into and need some advice as a novice fish owner. And besides getting some questions answered that I have right now, I am hoping to learn more as I go!
