I already posted my tale of woe on the Beginner's Board, but thought I should properly introduce myself here:

I'm Rue (the second, it seems. :sbiggrin: ). I'm a stay-at-home mom and writer. I've recently got into fishkeeping because my kids wanted a pet. We thought Dwarf Aquatic Frogs were pretty cute and decided we'd give them a try. Of course, we ended up upsizing to a 20 gallon tank and now have 5 danios, 3 white cloud minnows, 1 black kuhli loach, as well as the aquatic frog(s) (we lost one last week... :ssad:). We're trying plants for the first time, too. We've got a vals spiralis, ludwegia rebens, bacopa monnieri, and a mystery plant. (I was told it was water lettuce--but it's definitely NOT water lettuce! :rolleyes:)

Here's a pic:

I'm looking forward to putting my mistakes behind me and learning from all the knowledgeable people here to become a better fish mommy.

Thanks!

Rue

Welcome to AC, ruecole. If you have specific questions by all means ask them in the appropriate forum catagory. As always, its quite helpful to have tank size, temperature, pH; gH and kH if you can manage them. Water parameters are essential to accurate assessment.

Thanks, guys!

Dave, I don't have any more questions right now, but when hubby gets home from work, I'm off to get the test kit that was recommended to me on the Beginner's Board...and then I'm sure I'll be back with a BUNCH of questions! :ezpi_wink1:

Hello, and ask,ask,ask!

Also search through old threads - you may be able to find answers there - I have, a few times!
