So I just joined and I already love the place, but to get to the point: I've got 17 convict fish fry living in an animal cracker jar (it's probably about four-five gallons...) which I just moved from 2 2-liter bottle (that's just over half of a gallon...)
The fish are doing fine now, I change the water CONSTANTLY to keep it from getting too dirty. I already had a close call with amonia build up, their gills are finally back to normal. Poor guys :/
I feel bad, but I learned to keep a close eye on them. I know I sound horrible, but a guy was getting rid of them (and i don't mean giving them away...) and I took as many as I could off of his hands. Any way, I'm new to keeping an aquarium, and I've already had a few close calls and been doing things wrong, so hopefully I'll have better luck learning on here
I'm also saving money for a REAL set up, and doing a bunch of DIY projects to try and make a filter, aerator, decorations/hiding places etc. and I would appreciate any help and advice
As of yet I remain optimistic. I just overcame a food crisis by graduating from bread crumbs to black worms they're currently multiplying under my sink
