he'll be fine in that for a bit, but if you can save and get another, I suggest so. Make sure he has a heater still

Plastic storage tote. Most bowls are to small for heaters and you'll boil him. Plastic totas can be bought for 5-1 dollars and work great as temp tanks.
Honey, it's in the stars
And you're my everything from here to Mars
And every word I say I truly mean
Dear darling, I hope I'm being clear
'Cause there's no one like you on earth
That can be my universe

Okay, so I recently got a few more fish to add to my 13 gal. tank. Here's a list of all the fish in my tank and their names :)
Panda Cory- Bamboo
Panda Cory- Ying Yang
Spotted (I think) Cory- Catty
Albino Cory- Creamer
Glass Fish- Windex
Glass Fish- Crystal
Female Guppy- Diamond
Female Guppy- Emerald


I am obsessed with fish care now :) I currently have 3 tanks of my own, but one does not have fish in it at the moment. My dad says I shouldn't get any more tanks, but I ignore him, lol.

I got 2 pregnant female guppies about a month ago (Diamond and Emerald), and they still didn't have their fry. When do you think they'll have them? And do I need a breeder for the tank for them?

    Guess whos going to try to get a small betta sorority! I have done A lot of research but I still have a few questions,

    1) How do I feed/make sure they all get fed?
    2) Is it best to have a filtered tank?

with multiple bettas a filtered tank is a must.
as for food, just feed them and they should all get some food, I used frozen shrimp cubes(meant for large carnivores) cut in half as food for them.

Just rescued an adult male painted turtle.
So I guess my tank is now a fish/turtle tank.

where did you rescue it from?


I got a bunch of native small fish for my turtle tank. I now have two Bluefin killifish, one male sailfin molly, and five mosquito fish in my ten gallon with a chicken turtle.

Some people who had him in a small tank with another turtle. Almost all of his claws/toes are bitten off entirely, and part of his nose is either rubbed or rotten off. He seems pretty happy to have a ton of room to swim though.

Doesn't seem to be aggressive with the fish either. (probably because they tried playing soccer with him until they found out he wasn't edible :roll: )

    Eh, it's not really fish related but...I managed to save a bull frog
    from a cat this evening. We have a very large ditch (so big it never dries up)
    behind our house and I'm guessing the cat decided it wasn't getting enough food.
    Don't worry though, it wasn't hurt and was still very active so I immediately took
    it back to the ditch. I can hear them all croaking now ^^
