    Before you are told how to set up the tank you need to be told it is nowhere near big enough for even one goldfish.
    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.

    Wow, that doesn't happen very often, good for you. You don't have the goldfish, correct? Read this, it will help; http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ead.php?t=5640
    If there is already fish in the tank then read this and please don't add anymore until the tank is cycled;http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ad.php?t=36492
    If it's called tourist season why can't I shoot them?
