Hi there everyone! I'm new here and only started my fish hobby in February (when I moved into my own apartment )
I currently have 2 ten gallon tanks and a 2.5 gallon. Here's how they're set up:
2.5 gallon: 1 live plant & 1 female betta
10 gallon a: 3 black mollies (also a baby which was born about 3 weeks ago, might have been more but the other fish probably ate them before I came home and discovered it) , 2 mickey mouse platies, 2 dalmation platies, 1 female betta, 3 bloodfin tetras, 1 pleco (whom I inted to keep until I am either able to purchase a bigger tank for or will sell/give him away when he becomes too big to comfortably move around), 3 black snails, 3 zebra danios, 2 blue danios, live plants, and several ghost shrimp (not sure how many).
10 gallon b: approximately 8 male/female fancy guppies, 1 pleco (whose fate will be the same as the one above), 2 gold snails, 2 neon tetras, several ghost shrimp, and live planes.
I know tank 10 gallon a is overcrowded but I am planning to get either a bigger aquarium or another 10 gallon to ease that problem (got a little overexcited when I first started ) ). The suprising thing though, is that I only have to do water changes once or sometimes twice a month and in between that time I do regular water tests and the levels are always in the safe zones.
Anyway, any suggestions on how to ensure that my fish live a long and healthy life will be greatly appreciated as well as information on other fish which I could acquire would delight me greatly.
Hopefuly I'll be able to post pictures of the aquariums soon. Thanks for having me!!!
