My daughter's fault. Okay, and mine cause I have a hard time telling her no ;-) She just had to have them. We need a pond for them or we need to find them a home with someone who does.
So far, water parameters have been great though.

My 2nd fave fish. Comes when I call her, touches my fingers with her little feelers. A real sweet-heart unless you're another fish.
- typeof:
- Freshwater
- Rest of Your Aquariums:
- A 15 gallon Sterilite storage container with a Whisper filter on the side. I keep it cycled and ready for a quarantine tank, just in case.
- How I got started with aquariums.:
- Oh Lord. That's a long story that can't be made short.
- Favorite fish:
- My Bronze Corydoras
- Fish I have bred:
- Guppies. But they really did it all themselves.
- Why I like fish::
- They taste good?
Oops. Wrong answer.
- Best advice:
- Always quarantine. I keep a cycled tank going all the time just in case. I quarantine for a month.
Don't overstock, especially if the tank isn't properly cycled.
Read read read. Learn all you can before you begin.
