what tank do u have, what gallons, what do u have in them and any other comments...
I have "regular" 10 gallon community tank. It is partially planted and I am in the process of getting more live plants as money permits. Eventually I want no plastic plants in it, only live
It has a Whisper 5-15 filter in it and some sort of heater with temperature adjustment (I forget what kind...probably Whisper). Currently there are three Cory cats, one little common Plec, two adult Platys, a male Betta, a ghost shrimp, and eight Platy fry in a breeder net, in the tank (hmm..it occurs to me that the tank might be a little overloaded...).
I have a
teal five gallon MiniBow with a Whisper 2-5 filter and a junior tank heater. There are a few Anacharus in there for the fish to munch if they'd like, but it doesn't really have enough light for me to make it a planted take, unless I go with some really low light plants (which I'd like to do, it's just a money issues). There are two adult Platys residing there, and possibly a fry or few in the gravel
My one gallon is currently housing four new ghost shrimp (one with lots of eggs) and a male Platy (doesn't work to have him in the five or the ten right now). I want to get a sponge filter for it, but haven't gotten to the store to get it yet. For now, it just has an air stone.
I have two dual Betta hex "tanks", each of which has one Betta. I throw a few Anacharus in there for them to enjoy.
In the next week or two, or sometime in the near future, I'm going to move all the adult Platys (except the male from the one gallon - a friend is taking him) in to the ten gallon and put the fry in the five gallon (when they're a little bigger). The Betta will probably come out of the ten gallon eventually. At some point I'd like to get a two and a half gallon MiniBow and put two Bettas in there (yes, with a divider) and have the other Betta in one of the one gallons. I haven't yet decided what I'm going to do with the other one gallon. When the plec gets too big for my aquarium, I have someone who will take him.
Sometime (not sure when) I want to get a fifteen or twenty gallon tank. Don't know what kind of fish I'll put in there yet. Most likely Corys, and I don't know what else. Maybe some neons. We'll see... The possibilities are endless...
I have acquired all of these tanks and fish in the last month and a half
I have learned a huge amount of information (thanks to this forum!) and am still learning.
Boy, I wrote a lot
I'm a writing major (and biology). Can ya tell?
