Hi,
I am Sue, and I last kept a fishtank in the late 90s.
WoW! A lot has changed over the years.
I love the look of those rimless tanks, but my friend (and roommate) does not trust them. She owns the house, so no fancy tank for me, yet. That's OK though.
I own a 10 gallon long tank and a hex tank with a volume just over 18 gallons. A friend gifted me his hex tank and all the equipment to run it.
At first I wanted to get those beautiful cherry shrimp and modern tech. But money isn't what it used to be.
So I am thinking of setting up the hex tank as a ghost shrimp tank with a few small fish and a couple algea eaters. BUT FIRST, I will get it planted with a monstera cutting, pathos, and of course aquatic plants. I want to keep it just plants until temps warm up here in NY. And I have more money for test kits and critters - and things I don't yet know I'll need.
Having been out of the art of fish keeping so long ... I have lots of questions. So anyone willing to answer what they can, would be appreciated greatly. I'll name the critters after you too.
See you in the ghost shrimp forum!
Happy bubbles to all,
and thank you for reading all this!
