Yeah. I was thinking of getting 2 more if I get the 10 gallon.
It actually looks like I'll be able to get the 10 gallon after all. My mom is ok with it. As long as it is ok with my dad I'll be able to buy it.

That's great :)


I love schooling fish, it's so cute to watch my cories and tetras together.

XD
I have permisison to get a 10 gallon tank! /dances happily
The heater and filter I have work for the new tank too so I only have to buy the tank and maybe another bag of gravel.

Although I'm kind of worried about the heater. It is set for 84 and the thermometer only reads 76. -__-

I think it might be the heater.
I looked at the reviews online after buying it from my local petstore and it said that it wears out fairly quickly and wont heat past 78 degrees even when on the highest setting.

That's awesome CSF!

I'm going to our local petstore tomorrow to see if they have a 10 gallon tank I'd be happy with.
While I'm there I will also pick up a couple more fish buddies. ^^
I hope they've restocked their cory cats...

Dia, I've had the same problem before. I think I'm going to start just buying heaters rated for larger tanks than what I need it for, that way I can keep the temp setting of the heater lower to heat the smaller tank. When it starts wearing out, maybe just turning it up will help.
