Thank you. I can't wait to explore these forums.

Allow me to say a few words about myself.

I work at a petstore, but only till I finish school. After working with the fish and animals in the store, I realized that my training was not exactly the best, and I want to actually learn the truth about fish tanks and fish-related issues.

Currently, all I have is a 10 gallon tank. I live in a very small apartment. I bought the 10 gallon for my female bettas, which were in gallon bowls before. Unfortunately, my prettiest one (which I believe is a female crowntail) shreds the fins of all the other female bettas. So...I bought 3 white cloud minnows for the tank. I also have a mystery snail in there.

I'm hoping to eventually have a larger tank with a couple angelfish, a striped raphael catfish, and a few other fish.

Anyways. That's me. cheers

I'm glad to see you are taking it upon yourself to learn more about your fish and fish you may eventually sell to others...and again, welcome to the site.

Yep, we will help you along your way! The tank sounds nice, I once had a 10g with female bettas, I seems the more plants I put in the less aggressive the tank became.

Thank you all. Smile

I have a few live plants in there now, but they're still doing pretty small. One is growing rather quickly though...anubias, I believe?

Yeah, I've talked to Wyomingite a few times about fish-related issues. It's amazing how many things we tell customers that is wrong. I didn't realize the 1 gallon per inch of fish rule is kinda worthless, or that a few of our tags are wrong about how big a fish gets.

The store I work for is one of the better ones I've been to. But...I hate working for a chain. Yesterday, I sold 2 pacus for a 55 gallon that already had 2 pacus. Sad I told the customer no but he wouldn't accept it, and I had to get the store manager, who folded. It's sad. And the customer wanted the two largest ones in there. They're still only about 4 inches, but we've had them for awhile and I really like pacus.

Anyways...I'm sure I'll ask lots of questions. I was planning on using the chat on here a bit, in hopes that some of you will pop on and talk about fish. Smile
