Well, the bf, who claimed not to care if I started up my beloved tank and then wanted to know what was taking so long, managed to convince me into adding fish about 2 weeks ahead of schedule. The guy at the lfs told us about one of those bacteria intro products when we bought some plants early last week, so I got some of that as well. Now, since the numbers are looking ok, I gave in on 6 tiny Glowlights.

Anyway, now the bf is all enthused. He has decided that he likes the idea of 3 female bettas, rather than one male. ("Maybe we can have a male in the 5g later?" ) And this morning he announced that the fish looked hungry. I had to carefully supervise that, believe me! ("But they still look hungry!" )

Yes, I'd say he's hooked!

I shall have to keep up my monitoring! At least he's willing to learn.... Now, I must be strong and keep him from adding more fish until I'm sure the tank is ready for them!

I vote! Do you?

Good job hooking another one!

Maybe this will mean he'll get you fishy presents for your birthday, like a nice big 175 .

Hers and his fishtanks are a great idea

You get to double the fun.

You may need to check the integrity of your floor though
