Done with Aquariums

jag, sorry to see you go so soon. (i've only been posting so long)
kudos to you (corny i know) for accepting it's your time and deciding to do it right instead of neglecting your pets. it's the right thing to do.

hopefully you'll stay a member of the site and make use of the viv section. if so... see you on the dark side. anoles are no bcc, but all little raptors have a good appeal to me. they can be very cute in the right surroundings. my suggestion would be to do as you did with your fish and create naturalistic right from the gate. i think you'll find it a lot more rewarding than having "a tank" with "some lizards".

good luck, and enjoy. emphasis on enjoy as that's really the important part... for you and your animals.

I hope you enjoy the reptiles. I still love seeing new growth in my planted tanks, it's like finding a new batch of baby fish to me. I have been keeping fish for 8 years. I started out with fake plants and decorations. I had a few plants that would live for a while, and then die off when I moved, or when I had a snail infestation. I have moved 6 times since starting this hobby. I have figured out how to make water changes easier without investing a lot of money into it. I bought a bunch of plants about 4 months ago. They are doing great. I still have some algae problems, but most of my fish tend to pick at the algae so I don't mind it too much. I have recently discovered that my husbands 75 gallon tank with less light over it grows plants quicker than my 29 gallon, or 10 gallon. I don't know if this is because he has more fish, and a heavier bio-load to feed the plants with, or if there is another factor involved.
I'm glad to hear you are being responsible with your fishy buddies and getting them new homes. I hope you enjoy the new hobby. I wish my mother had gotten rid of her ferret before getting her dogs. He rarely gets to come out of his cage, and is not getting the attention he deserves.
