Just joined up. I have a few freshwater tanks but looking to start my first salt water.

They are in a 45 gallon hex. I picked them up along with a whole 45 gallon setup for free, well minus the $58 dollar gas charge. the tank they're in now is just a spare I had. The fish came with the deal so I don't know exactly what I want to do with them yet. Identification was the first step.

it's a 30 gallon. those fish are in a 10g now with 2 other gold fish and doing fine. They're not my fish and if I had the choice I'd put all my fish in bigger tanks. My red eared slier is in that 30g now. all together I have 7 tanks. 30g hex, 45g hex acrylic (need to get the scratches out), 30g, 3 10g, and one 45g.

I lost 2 of them, probably from stress, being in the back of a truck for a 100 mile dirve isn't good for fish. I have a friend that's taking the last one, he has an 80 gallon.
