Anyone keep aquariums? I recently got my youngest son a little 10 gallon aquarium and put in an aquatic frog, big snail, 3 black Molly's, 3 paritus somethings, and an algae eater. The tank is awesome with some live plants and a cool rock for them to hide in.

Does anyone do salt water?

We had a huge salt water tank at the dealership in Illinois.

Before we moved we had quite a few koi.. Kept them in a 150 gallon stock tank. Gave them away because it was going to be too much of a hassle to maintain in an apartment.

We had numerous other set ups. The most fun, to me, were live plants in a small 10 gallon. Inside of that we had some shrimp (red cherries). The combination of the live plants was just pretty to me. I will dig around and see if I have any pictures..

They seemed like they were hard to take care of. Very touchy about the conditions in the tank (temperature, ph, lighting, hiding spots). Worth it though!

They have to have their little eco system ready to go when you place them in, maybe that was the issue - we may have rushed it

But it's more popular than you would think! There's a small organization out here in phoenix that is really in to it. Some forums and such. People were helpful.

Aquariums can lower heart rate and blood pressure. Proven fact!


Great relaxation!

yep, during the power outage we lost our male betta (RIP Rhett) and my Angelfish, Angry Angel, he was an asshole.

We aren't replacing the Betta, so his bowl will be put away, we got a few more fish so now we have a small tank with 2 glowfish and a chinese algae eater, and a 10 gallon with 1, chinese algae eater, 1 blue molly, 2 cardinal tetras, and 5 glow tetras.

I love watching the tetras swim around in a school, we have a bunch of live plants and a bunch of plastic ones, I put a lot of my rock collection in the tanks and there is a castle of course.

now that I have a free bubbler from the betta tank, I'll have to figure out a bubble feature for the 10 gallon.

I test our water all the time, it is usually spot on, so I'm positive that the power outage was what killed them, just got too cold.
