MY 10 gallon planted tank stilll makes a great addition to my room along with the turtle tank. I am sure the saltwater will and the betta tank I have planned but who else seconds the idea of a 20 gallon tank with some dwarf gouramis and small community fish like some guppies or tetras. I wonder what other fish are good. Who thinks this will make an even better addition. I hope you do.

It will take me a while to gather up enough money for the stuff or it will take a while to pay back my dad but I am sure it will be worth it. I just finished paying off some saltwater stuff by cutting down most of a tree and cleaning and helping plant cactus and mopping and well it was very tiring and made me wake up at 9! I still slept very well.

MTS! MTS! Very commendable of you to be earning your way to new tanks. Too, I'm sure Dad appreciates all of the help.

Metropolitan Transit System Lol. I think my dad overdoes all the pay back stuff. He wanted 7 car washings but after I cleaned up the yard and cut all those branches he wants three because he knows my future plans for a betta tank. My betta isn't very social and my mom doesn't want to take him out of the tank but he bothers my other fish. No serious problems he just chases them when they take the food. I posted this so you could give suggestions not to point out an obvious case of MTS. I don't mind though, . So what do you think?

MTS right there! It's great you're getting a tank just for your betta. True betta lover Your plans are great Time Keeper! Keep it up! Can't wait to see the new tanks soon. Keep us updated!

I will peacemaker I am working on saltwater and a betta tank(s) for now. My mom said she would give me 20$ but she does not approve of fishtanks. She says that the light bill was over 400$ but it would be impossible for a fishtank to have raised it. I am Trying to get my shelf from my mom that could fit the tank and make it stand out. It could hold my future nano my dad is giving me if a get straight A's and I would have had a better fish tank, but I got a B last time. I hope it all works out! My dad loves fish. I am doing more stuff for him today to see if I could get the 2.5. I found a cheap in on special. I will definatley keep you updated. brb I am going to the pet store!

You're killing me Time Keeper! How am I supposed to keep my own TMS in check when you're describing a great sounding tank?! Lol. I think your twenty gallon sounds good. I love Male fancy guppies. Hmmm, I've heard that more than one DG in a small tank (even a 20g) could lead to aggression. I'm all for your MTS though.

I guess I could keep one. They are amazing fish along with fancy guppies. I hate it when they tremendously over stock at the pet store and I think it is stocking right, they have over ten dg at the Pet store in a 10 gal. One will still be amazing! I already cleaned the yard more and that deserves a trp to the pet store to check out prices and maybe a 2.5

haha so much work for fish tanks? Wow! I don't think the light bill could go that high just because of your fish tanks. It depends on how much power your lights use? Here in my country they total up the lights and all the electric appliances to one bill, the electric bill. So if yours is also the same, (electric+light) then it couldn't be just your tank lights that is raising the bill. there ARE a lot of things that use electric in the house!

IT is because I use the computer too much. I have two fishtanks but three tanks. ONe has turtles and another one is getting ready for awesome. That is the only way I could describe it.
