Greetings all. I'm brand new to fishkeeping (if we don't count the scores of innocent lake denizens I murdered in stagnant buckets as a child--oops) and I've discovered this is scarily addictive, even just the research part!
I have a 10-gallon tank cycling fishless just now, and a betta in a 1.5g (small, yes, but I had to rescue one from the store, poor fella, he was in a plastic cup) who'll be heading to his bigger home when it's ready.
I think the most fun part so far has been the planning of the tank. The weeks it takes to cycle offer lots of time for back and forth mind changes about what fish I'd like to get. I have two other tanks currently housing gerbils, and so someday (after some thorough cleaning and fresh silicone) I'll have a 15-gallon and a 29-gallon to play with too.
Hope to learn a lot here.
