Yea, I hope so too! I'd be careful when talking to pet store employees, though... A lot of them will tell you that they don't need heaters or large tanks, and some will even say no conditioner. This is all silly. These are tropical fish, so they need warm water. Like, 80*F water. Anyways, I hope that they have all the stuff that you fish needs! Can't wait to see pics! (:

look at gumball and wondered why it was so dark. i figured the kids turned off the light , but as i got closer, i realized that my 3 year old had dumped BOTH almost full bottles of pellets and bloodworms in the tank. i didnt have time to cry. i think he enjoyed that feast. and thank goodness i seen it before i went to bed. now he is happy with his heated tank and fresh conditioned water. thanks to all for the advice!

No problem! I think I would've had a heart attack. LOL.
