Hello fellow hobbyists, its good to be here and healthy again after recovering from Covid 19 fully. Thank God! I am just getting back into fishkeeping after a 20 year hiatus. I have had various sized freshwater tanks over the years and then got into a 125 gallon reef coral tank that was just too time consuming and expensive a hobby to maintain so I sold it all. Now I am married and have four kids. My wife loves animals and we are blessed with a freshwater pond near our property that is stocked with catfish and tadpoles. My twin boys are 7 and love to catch critters and we had the idea of making a tadpole aquarium just to show the boys how the life cycle of a toad progresses. The pond is a few hundred feet away so water changes are pretty easy. Anyways I got the bug again to keep fish but this time I decided to keep it small and simple so I bought a Fluval 15 gallon Flex tank. I am going to use it mostly for Aquatic plants and few shrimp, maybe another tropical fish or two but fish will not be the main focus, the focus will be plants. I am hoping to select plants that balance out my scheme. I am thinking southeast asian habitat and no CO2. I purchased some fluval lava substrate and might use some potting soil, will see. Looking for a local club in knoxville but I guess Covid has shut many down. Also seeking good sources for online plant purchases. Thanks. Look forward to learning from the group and sharing experiences.
I have always loved the look of those fluval flex tanks!
all my orders came quickly and arrived healthy, and I personally was very happy with the prices
