Fish lovers!

I'm so happy! All of my fish survived the move :D
Although, the tank looks kind of gross at the moment from all the stuff under the gravel that got stirred up -_-

Om nom tuna fish
I personally love fish, they're gorgeous and very relaxing to watch. I would have as many as I could care for if I wasn't a horrible fish mommy- all the fish I get die long before their time is up no matter how hard I try to care for them. ;-; That, and my dogs try to eat them.

Does anybody know how to speed up preparing driftwood?

What do you mean by prepare it?

So the tannins don't leach out in large amounts. Like soaking it, or boiling it, etc. A little discoloration doesn't bother me. I just don't want it to look like I've replaced the water with beer. It already sinks, though.

I woke up this morning and found my cat at my fish tank, attempting to open the lid. .-.

Boil,rinse,boil,rinse,boil,rinse. Until there is no nasty water coming out. That's what I have read.

Yay congrats <3
@toboelover Thats a nice betta Im jelly :p

@Grimace What kind of filtration are you trying to set up?

So my cousin and his wife came over yesterday for a funeral. She loves animals like me and we started talking about fish so she came over and looked at my tank. I totally got her into goldfish keeping. They have a plan to move to my town and live near us. She wants to make a pond and breed goldfish with me. <3
Update on Kimi: She is doing fine, I did a water change on her tank last night and she kept swimming towards the siphon. -.-
Seems she didn't learn her lesson the first time so im going to get some fishnet and put is over the opening so she don't get sucked up in it again.

I don't like how poorly pet shops take care of their fish. The Petco near us is tons better than the nearest Petsmart. They actually try to take care of the fish, whereas the feeder goldfish tank at Petsmart was littered with dead/dying fish and waste. It made me upset.

But a question too..: how hard is it to take care of guppies and the fry? I have a ten gallon tank set up that I will put the two guppies I'm going to buy in. Is buying live plants or a fry box thing better for the fish? And is it true that guppies actually like dirty tanks (since apparently they're bottom feeders? [according to my godmother x3])?

Thank youuu~

Guppies and guppy fry are not hard to take care of at all,ive got mine in a 5 gallon tank with gravel 3 plants no heater and no filter and there popping out babies all the time

Thanks ^^ I have THIS FILTER. It won't hurt/suck up the fry, will it? I have no idea how to cover it with a fishnet or anything.

That will stuck up fry,but you could buy a sponge filter.

Thanks, I'll think about that. :3
