[Harry]

Hello!

My name is Harrison (Harry is shorter and quicker to say though ) and i live in Glasgow in Scotland.

I have been browsing these boards for a few weeks since i got my betta, lots of information here! I usually post over at the Petfish.net forum.

At the moment, my Betta 'Fluffy' is in a small 2 gallon tank by himself until my new tank finishes cycling. My big tank is a 12 gallon and measures 24x12x12 inches. I'm running a Rena Heater and a Sicce Shark ADV filter/pump in the bigger tank and 6 young zebra Danios are cycling it for me I got my hood and light fixed up as well and the tank looks great, im in the process of trying to get the tannins out of a piece of driftwood, its taking ages!

Im buying a really cool piece of lava rock tomorrow, lots of hideyholes and will make a great centrepiece for my tank, i have a live plant in at the moment, i think its a java fern, but not too sure.

My plans for fish after the cycling are: 1 male betta, 4 Leopard Cories, and 6 neon tetras. I cant wait to have it finished!

Thanks for reading, hope to speak with you all soon

-Harry

Well Hello Harry and welcome to the forum.

This is a great forum. Everyone is friendly and helpful. I'm sure you will enjoy your time here.

I see you have some cory cats. Any plans to breed them?

Well, i dont think the rock that i got today *is* lava rock. Its a sedimentary rock(white-ish and tan coloured) but it doesnt 'fizz' when vinegar is applied. This means its safe for the tank, right? When you rub it hard, hardly any sediment comes off, if any at all, this is good too, right? Its a really great looking piece, i hope it can stay! (i got it at my LFS)


Inchworm: No, no corys yet, but soon after the tank cycles i'll be adding a few, they are soo darn cool! (and £3.95 each(!), about $7-ish)

Thanks BettaBoyz, i like to research a lot when it comes to things that interest me, and i thought it was especially important to do so when there were fishes lives involved
