    Default 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

    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.

    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!
    If it's called tourist season why can't I shoot them?
    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.
    Tolerance is a great thing to have, so is the ability to shut up.
