Hello, from MN

Hi, I just joined this forum. I have now been in the hobby of fish keeping for a year now. (Bought my first tank a year ago).
I have enjoyed it so much I bought a second tank and can't wait for my own place so I can upgrade to a 55. I currently own one 16 and one 10 gallon.

What kinds of fish do you keep?

Glad to have you here. Please post some pics!






P.s. everyone give Fern a hand her CL worked!

Welcome!! We have lots of friendly people here!

hahah I should have posted the fish I have.
In my 10 gallon, which is a half moon, I have my betta and three neon tetras. They were actually getting along for a while but now the betta is starting to lose bits of his fin and I think it's the tetras picking on him so I'm thinking about moving them to the 16 gallon.
The 16 gallon is bow-front and currently has 6 Corydora (spell that right?) cat fish, and guppies. Five females and one male (which I just got four days ago).
I originally had a bunch of guppies but around August last year I got some wicked disease in my tank that killed all of my fish so I had to take the tank apart and boil and clean things and re-cycle it. The 16 gallon is also planted with Javamoss and fern.

Welcome to the forum.

welcome to the Box.....man I bet it is cold outside where you are...
Join the party and warm up a bit

Hop right in and enjoy yourself . Good folks here .

Thank you all for the wonderful greeting! I already feel at home :)

Elrollo - Yes, lol I am currently freezing right now. It's going to hit a high of 9 today and my heater thought it would be cute and turn off during the night so I woke up to a brisk cold house.

oohh no heat! That happened to me in Chicago when we had a 40 below wind chill 2 tanks cracked form the house getting cold and the warm tank. This was many many years ago.

Just wanted to say hay from MN also. I am a new member and I wanted to share what I have.I have a 125g saltwater tank with 2 big volitian lion fish,yellow tang, dominal damsel,3 stripe damsel, tomato clown, mag rabbit fish,blue jaw trigger fish. I also have a 45g with a porcupine puffer ,snowflake eel ,maroon clown,foxface.And a 125g full of african cichlids.to many to name

wow welcome ebud. Sound like quite a collection.

Welcome to the Box edub!Post some pics when you can!Would love to see your tanks!

Sweet, a fellow Minnesotan! lol
Welcome edub! It sounds like you have a pretty awesome collection! I can't wait for my own place where I can get larger tanks and not have to worry about breaking them down a year later and trying to move them somewhere.

As for my heater, nothing is broken really... it just likes to auto-shutoff for some reason. During the day I can catch it and fix it but at night? lol nope, so I typically wake up to an ice cold house.

Thank you ,it's nice to be welcomed. Gnomeofmyheart Is it your house or fish tank with no heat?

My house! lol my fish have better heaters than I do
Though, their heaters have to work harder during the night because of it.

No way.It's like 5 degrees outside right now.I hope you have someone to keep you warm at night, or call the land lord.

I have, the Land Lord attempted to do something... lol he tries and he isn't one of those who just ignores something. He just doesn't know what he is doing and I feel bad for the guy at times.

And I do, my husband, dog, cat, and lots of blankets! lol
