Baby tanks.




9/25/08 I setup 2 ten gallon tanks at half full to hold the babies. I don't have filters hooked up. Each day I remove any uneaten food. That stuff really rots quickly. I also empty and refill about a gallon of water in each. It really doesn't take much time. I don't have heaters or lights hooked up for these tanks either. The house has been around 77-80 degrees, so using the electricity for more heat is a waste. This is a low budget way to keep fish. As long as the house or room is at the right temperature.
The two tanks have nothing on the bottom. Usually I put gravel down, but that adds to more bacteria build up and more maintenance. Guppies are ok to keep this way, however some fish need something on the bottom for various reasons.


Below is a great site.

About Me

I have been working in accounting and purchasing for 12 years. I really enjoy helping businesses get the most out of their money. I am able to research other companies to find out where I can get the best prices for goods and services. I am able to serve companies all over the United States and Spanish speaking countries.

Other interests I have are aquariums. I have 5 fish tanks with guppies, Jack Dempseys, tetras, sword tails, tinfoil barbs, plecos, cory catfish, silver dollars, rasboras, a beta, a platy. They aren't all in the same tank. I am trying to develop my own strain of guppy. And I'd like to breed the cory catfish. I'll probably get a couple more tanks. One for salt water and a bigger tank for the big fish.
