Hi! Newcomer here.

Hello everyone!

My fiance and me have recently started with fish.

We bought a 10g and let it run for awhile.

Then we got some fish (in my signature).

I think we've made a few mistakes so far but we still have 7 fish

We're really loving this new hobby.

Thanks! This place is great, I read about half of the message board already.

I love these Red Tails but it probably was a mistake to get two.

Although they actually are doing pretty well.

It's kind of funny what's happened...

First the big one was dominant and bossing the little one, but after a few days the little one grew a pair.

And now the big one is always hiding behind the filter.

3 Recent deaths have us a little discouraged but I think I have fixed the problem the "fish babysitter" left us.

We are both still very excited... and addicted. This has completely replaced our TV watching, no joke.

I don't blame your baby sitter for the death of your fish. Rather the very small tank and the amount of fish/ choice of fish you made. I would also blame the non-cyled tank, unless you are doing a fish in cycle, and you chose the wrong fish to do that *SICK*

hey hey, they told us to cycle it for a week and we did... now there are fish in there.

But yes, we did get too many fish.

Do wish I knew about this place first.
