Re: my first tank
Aww that's awesome!!! I wish a great-aunt of mine were cool enough to do something like that for me. They (when they were ALIVE) mainly just fed me a lot and gave me candies from their purse...
You're very lucky GypsyGirl! :-)
I can't wait to see it when it's set up? Kate, how many gallons it that?! From looking at the insides, I'd say you stocked it instead of buying her a pre-stocked one?

Re: my first tank
Congratulations, GypsyGirl! That is such a cool present. Knowing CapeKate, she'll have made sure you have everything you need in the setup she gave you. You're lucky to have someone who can give great advice so close to you!
Are there any pictures of your betta?

Re: my first tank
It's hard waiting to get a new Betta and waiting for the tank to be ready. We still get that way even with 14 Bettas at the moment - 5 are babies that will go to new homes. Your great-aunt will help you not make the mistakes we did with our 1st Betta.  |
