And she waits... Not the most patient person lol.

They say fishes are dumb, because humans need to be smarter in keeping the fishes alive.

That is only the first part of fish keeping next will be the cycling process and the establishing of the tank and that can take years.

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Keith, years?! She is having trouble with days. Be kind

After playing with fish tanks for well over 30 year I know from experience it is a waiting game.
It is far better to tell the truth about our hobby than telling new fish keepers that there is no waiting times and every thing happens at once.
My little 45lt is no where near finished yet after two years of trying different things and waiting months for plants to grow by the grower before they can be sold, or waiting weeks for certain fish to be available for sale at the LFS.
But what I will say every thing is worth waiting for.

Well the tank is here.. Can't put the water in yet until i find a 4way board for the plugs.. and that will take up 3 of them lol. Then it will be the plants and then waiting for the right fishes to come up... but so far i like the set up now i think i am changing my mind on the type of fishes i want to get..... Yes teaching me patience alright.

They say fishes are dumb, because humans need to be smarter in keeping the fishes alive.

Here is the power board that I use note each outlet has its own switch this is extremely useful when I do the water changes (all I do is turn off the heaters) and with the filter cleaning only that outlet.
The blue name stickers on the top are to say what that outlet is for.
Beware there a lot of cheepies out there go to a good hardware store and buy a know trade brand.

Yes teaching me patience alright.

I am very glad that you realise that now impatience is a very important part of your hobby. Too many mistakes and problems occur when some just race ahead to get it finished with out any planing. You can guarantee within two years they have given up and lost interest.
You are now doing the correct thing and doing every thing correctly and slowly.
With the fish come back and discuss what you are interested in and what is the correct way to introduce them to a new tank

The fishes I am getting is 10 black neons,Dwarf gourami and BNS. This is for a 70ltr tank. But upon the ground work of setting up the tank I am finding some of the list is changing, I still want the BNS and I do have some driftwood that I picked up from the beach though I will prolly put it around my garden.
Is black neons compatible with guppies???

My last comment was purely humor. Glad you got your tank. Listen to Keith. I have and my fish are happy

Lol krash yes I know it was humour. Now can someone tell me if its a good combo to have black neons with guppies
