HiFi Small Fry Posts: 11 Kudos: 3 Votes: 32 Registered: 09-Feb-2006	My 3 year old daughter was out shopping with me at wal-mart, in the dog food aisle getting some purina. Then i heard it.. Daddy! can we have fish?? I couldent resist and we got a little 5 gallon hexagon tank kit for some colorfull guppies she picked out. Of course came neon rocks and a glow in the dark coral decoration. http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e376/High-Fidelity/KidsTank1.jpg Makes me want to get one for myself, as I had one once when I was younger and I really enjoyed it. _____________________________________________ How far does the world need to decompose before we need a superhero?

I know a million people will probably post on this but the first and second rules to fish keeping are read as much as possible and be patient! I would suggest reading the articles on Starting an aquarium. Then check out all the posts on "cycling"! Cycling will greatly increase your enjoyment of the hobby -Josh

Won't be long till you're really hit hard and are upgrading to a 55 gallon. . . lol jk Fish are like potato chips. . .you can't have just one

I told a guy at work about it and he said he might give me his old 30 gallon one on monday. _____________________________________________ How far does the world need to decompose before we need a superhero?

Also had an angelfish and some other one I bought myself for a small tank once when I was about 10. I'm more interested in it all of a sudden and this placed has helped me out a lot over the last week. _____________________________________________ How far does the world need to decompose before we need a superhero?
