Well thanks for doing research instead of just rushing head on into a possible disaster =}

Lol I don't mind the rambling, I am VERY guilty of that myself lol I had a traumatizing run in with animal planet when I was young if it makes you feel better lol

Kudos for researching how to care for your fish. Your idea sounds like a great one :)

Thank you! I'm hoping to get my tanks in the next couple of days so I can get them ready. I can't wait!

Cory's it is. How many would I need per ten gallon tank? And what about those frogs... those are so cute, do they do well with bettas?

When I was really young, maybe 5-6, I was traumatized by an episode of Lassie. Lassie got hurt and I was crying and asking if Lassie was going to be ok. lol

In a 10 gal with only a betta? Like 4 or 5 :D I love the albino ones. A little more money but the white is better lookin imo :D
