    hey all, im new to the forum and located in the pearland area.....

    i currently have a 10g set up with harlequin rasboras, dwarf pleco & 2 cory cats... I have an albino cory that I shouldnt have got for that, he's way to big

    I have a 60g bow tank that I want to set up, going this weekend to try and locate something to set it up on (Im low budget, cant just fork out $200 for a real stand)...

    I was into fish at a young age, got out of it for years.. im about 40..... i had a betta named Rudy I got for my girl... well he was a great fish... and made me realize how much I loved fish again....

    Sadly, I used the old top off method in the 10g and that habit cost Rudy his life due to fin rot.. everything was fine until all of the sudden he developed what was I guess a bacterial infection...I felt so bad... he was my friend.... Ignorance I guess, Im sorry he paid for my lack of research with his life... that being said Rudy has inspired my to do right by all fish I keep with careful watching of the water Q and at least weekly changes for my harlequin rasboras... most important doing some research before I buy any fish and NEVER take the advice of petsmart folks... (albino cory would be fine in 10g...etc...)

    It was a nice thing to get home yesterday and my rasboras were real happy to see me and to eat, of course !!

    I enjoy reading these posts and others experiences... my sister has some baby chichlids she bred and I'm gearing to get that 60g going and have them in it...

    anyway... peace

      Believe me that is my vow....To take better care of fish... I read somewhere there'd have been no point to the whole experience if I didn't learn something....

      But I understand, heck you ever seen a grown man cry?

      Live & learn & I hope in the grand scheme of things Rudy could forgive me.

                            What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.
