New Tank

She's cycled and ready to go

For Christmas my friend wanted to give me another fish tank. So, a while ago, we headed to PetSmart to grab a 2.5 gallon for my Betta, Zaboomafoo. I found one, ($14.99) and was just about to leave when I decided to check to see if they had any male Swordtails in stock to put in my other tank. On the way there, I was glancing at other tanks when I saw a 10 Gallon for $14.99 I figured, "Well, I have the room, so why not" So here it is,







I put the glass looking stones on the bottom to help prevent him from tearing his fins (I would have bought more, but I was only planning on getting a 2.5 Gallon). I think he likes it

Your room is almost the same color as mine

Is there any filtration on that tank?

Not yet, but I'm working on it, hopefully by this weekend

Cool - he'll definitely enjoy a 10g more than a 2.5g. I'd make the heater the next thing to get and do daily 50% water changes until you get the filter running. Use Prime for your water conditioner too if you can.

Hi!

You'll need to do daily 25% changes until the filter is cycled as well. (Once you've got the filter!)
