Rather than redoing the whole thing, I'm just going to quote myself.

The, er, one-gallon. :sweatdrop

Aw, thanks for making me miss my aquarium. :(

Maybe someday I'll have some fishies again.

I've got a ten gallon of male guppies, glo-light tetras, an otocinclus, and a peppered corydoras. Also, a five gallon of female guppies, who are hilarious.

The five gallon tank was one of those cheap "hex 5" kits but it seems to be a much healthier and easier to maintain tank than the ten gallon one, which was a gift. And the while the female guppies aren't as colorful, they're very responsive to anything that happens in the room. I just waved at them from five feet away and they all went batshit. Someone stands over there... batshit. Turn on a light... batshit. Put my phone down on that table... batshit. Either they like me, or they thirst for my blood.

I'd post pictures but I can't find any old ones, and both tanks need to be cleaned currently... and I'm too sick to do it today. leave my algae alone

I've seen that 60gal in stores before, looks like a nice tank. Too big for my place, though. What are you gonna put in it once it's cycled?

We used to have fish. But they lived in a small bowl at the beginning. They were really small fish. Then later when we got a few more fish we got them an actual fishtank. Which was then some years later used for gerbils...

Anyway, sadly I have no fish now. I kinda wish I did.

Dad started a tank a few years ago:

We had bettas for a while, which were pretty and fun, kind of. Originally, Dad was hoping they'd reproduce, but that didn't work out, exactly... the male attacked anything that moved, and the females spent all their time hiding from him, so he had to be separated. The females were okay amongst themselves as long as they had enough space not to feel the need to start swatting each other.

He was a nasty guy, even for a male betta. I've seen others that generally seemed a lot calmer.

The guppies were a lot easier, though we had to set it up so that the young could escape from their mother after they were born. This didn't occur to us the first time around.

That picture is adorable! I have one somewhere of Sisko when he was still a (big) kitten trying to get into my 10 gallon fish tank.

I got a pond outside with about a dozen goldfish, they're all pushing 3-4 years and we've only lost 2 so we're doing something right.


The main attraction though is all the frogs it draws, motorbike frogs(whose call sounds just like a motorbike revving had my dad furious and confused til I recognised one from a biology book and figured out what the noise's source was) and are long and brown, colour changing big splotchy ones(not dramatically they seem to be limited to browns, oscillating between dark almost black brown to cream and tans depending on the surface they're on), little dark brownish red leathery skinned ones(not toads, they lack the visible head glands), grey ones with green spots and once I saw a dark green and bright yellow one. Also a rat but we killed that.

Gonna put angelfish, grommies, some rainbowfish and a catfish and a plecostomus.

I will post pics when we get it stocked.

That post scares me. Something about that picture screams "lolcats" and it is starting to scare me.
