I just can't help myself
After seeing Cobettacouple's 21 tanks  and especially those bookshelf tanks , I had to have a couple.............So I went to deathco and they happen to have 2 and I got them..............Now, what to put in them 
Oddly enough, the fish they did stock were very well kept. I was empressed. No dead fish. Tanks looked good.........Anyhow, my name is Rick and I'm a fishoholic  |

We're there for/with you because we're fishaholics too. we don't need 12 step plans we just need more tanks
We have had a Betta and an Oto in a 10g for a little over a year now and would have more but the stores around us don't have pretty Bettas.
You know what you need in those tanks

Bettas will soon be taking over the world, don't you know? Starting with the Fish Lore folks...one betta at a time. See they have me under their spell...there's more of them than humans or cats in my house.  |

Wow Rick you moved pretty quick, you went from no betta last week to getting Sir Royal Blue Peacock Britton. Now you have 2 new tanks are you going to get a "Dame" betta? Congrats on becoming a full fledged betta dad.
My problem is my tanks are never big enough. 3 weeks till i have a whole house to fill with tanks....  |

On one hand I feel like I need a 12 step program.................On the other I want to out do Cobettacouple's 21 tanks  The sign of a true addiction. Well I have he tanks now but I have to create some cool spots to put them in which should be no problem. Of course I can buy all the equipment I want, but Jacqueline gets to pick the new babbies.................And name them |

Im not telling you what to do, but heres a quick tidbit I used..you know those funny looking sponges you can buy at your grocery store , buy a bunch of them and stick them in your filter areas to gain some good bacteria and when you set up your new tanks, pop them in with the new filter..it helps seed the new tanks way faster and their cheap!!  |

I have one of those I use to scrub the inside of my tank glass. Do read any labels to make sure they haven't been treated to prevent mildew.
