greetings & salutations all from another newbie
greetings & salutations all ~
i discovered this great forum yesterday while reading up for my first tank. what a wonderful resource you all are!!! thanks for sharing your knowledge
i am going to 'dip my toe' with a 5 gal tank for a betta, hopefully planted. asked for the tank for xmas, then read that it is easier / better margin of error / more forgiving with a 20 or 30 gal. whoops, too late now...... stayed up most of last night reading the betta thread. learned lots! and am sure i will be asking tons & tons of ?s. fell asleep thinking: 5 gal minimum, filter, heater, low flow, no bubbling, cycling, water changes, testing....and more testing!
so please share your wisdom as i ask silly ?s and tell me when i am heading down the wrong stream
thanks in advance, you all rock
lator gators, b

!["genocidex;1139790]stupid question... but would i be able to use lawn clovers in a tank? lol" REALLY - Strider199](/aquariumforum/images/gifts/kickme.gif)
welcome to the wonderful AC. im glad you are enjoying the info. its true the bigger tank the more margin of error but a 5g isnt too tuff. if you are planting it then look into a cfl and shop light it works wonders.

Welcome to Fish Lovers Not-So-Anonymous
No such thing as a stupid question here. I'd know... I certainly asked a lot of what I considered stupid questions.

Hello and welcome!
Brutal honesty will be shown on this screen
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Smaug, you're here a lot just to say it's a waste of your time, poor baby, I bet you don't even know how big a loser you are, and how much we laugh at you and your foolish attempt to give your life meaning. Quit drinking, get a life, go take care of your family, grow up!
