I have a tank (about one gallon) with 5 tetras and a few dozen little pond snails. I just bought a small ornament cave for the tetras cause I'm hoping they'll be less spaztastic if they have a nice place to hide at times and the stupid this only fits one way in the tank, and I have to turn the tank around backwards just to see anything! I have a feeling they'll be staying in the cave for a good long while.
My snails I may have to get rid of, as much as I love watching them randomly float upwards in the tank, they're starting to reproduce again and I'm pushing my tank as it is. I may keep one, I have one that's a lot bigger than the rest that I may keep. Oh well. It's either get rid of them or scrape eggs off the sides of the tank and still get rid of snails.
After college I may invest in a larger tank, much larger like a 10 or 15 gallon. though i can't have snails then because they eat the glue stuff that holds them together. Also I need to really start reading how big fish grow to be, I bought a plectosomus and had to take him back cause they grow 20+ inches.
I wish everyone has a wonderful day! Blessed be!
Greetings Rebekah. I use to have a 55 gallon tank, and I just loved it so much. I had to move and had to disassemble it. This broke my heart as I had to give my fish away. I moved into the home that I purchased and it is full to the limit with my things. I couldn't put the tank back up and I really miss it. Just reading about your tank, makes my heart yern for another one. I use to also have tetras, I enjoyed watching them and the others swim around in a huge tank.
