new 10g tank

LIKE THAT battery powered
"water resistant air pump......keep unit dry"
LOL

only in america ;-)

That is quite comical....and notice how it is "quiet bubbles", it is loud as crap!

The one next to it at the store was 5 dollars cheaper without the "quiet"....I can only imagine how loud that would be.

I like to give comments! Sometimes I come off rude though...

Hmmm, I really like that ornament on the left of the tank. You want to send Auratus the ornament.... oooohhhhhh, ornaments. When I snap my fingers you will send Auratus the ornament... *snap*

Did my hypnosis work?!?!?!

Hi ryansfish5g

Why not give us an update and let us know how your new tank is working out and what you decided to do with the fish?

Sorry I haven't been around much, just finished finals.

I have made some changes for sure. I am taking pictures and will post an update in a new thread either tonight or tommorrow.

Thanks for the interest.

Hi ryansfish5g

Your tanks are both very beautiful!

I'm glad you're keeping the barbs. They are such nice fish. When I see them at my lfs I really want to get some, but they just won't fit in with the others I have.

Are you on break from school now? Hope you got all "A"s on your finals!

Sounds like you have a cool tank going.

Yeah, that is my guppy in my avatar. If I wasn't living in an apartment I would probably have more tanks, 1 being a guppy breeder tank. Have you tried breeding yet?

A link to more pics of my guppy and 5g tank

My guppy is probably my favorite. (don't tell my other fish!)

Thank you.

I actually just graduated from college. So I am definitely on a break from school!

I do really like the barbs. A problem I am having is that all my puffers have a chance to eat is snails. Whenever I feed them anything else, they are so slow to eat it that the barbs munch it all up. I also really want a larger puffer. I do like the way my tank is set up, but I feel as though it won't work b/c the tiny dwarf puffers can't get enough food....

I have talked with the LFS. They said they will let me trade all my fish in for half-credit. I am thinking about getting a single GSP (green spotted puffer) or a single figure-8 puffer and trading the barbs and dwarf puffers in. I have grown slightly attached to them, but I do not think I will be happy keeping them together. I could always just trade in 1 species, but in the long run I will be happier with just 1 larger puffer in this tank. I have been researching them a lot. I know they are brackish.

What do you think?

(Also, yes, I would rather just get more tanks, but my fiance would kill me.)
