| 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 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
