Fish Fanatic
Just wanted to say hello to all.I am very new to this hobby.
I inherited a 16 gal very neglected tank. It was so green with Algae and cloudy with dirt you couldn't see in. After doing a 50% water change (water not been changed in nearly a year
) I discovered a scissortail, 2 serpaes, a harlequin and a little glo-lite surviving at the bottom! (these fish must be indestructible!).After much tank maintenance the tank is almost up to scratch (except a for pesky NO2 problem that I seem to be going 2 steps forward and 1 back with
). 1 of the serpaes has since passed on (he was 5 years old and battling a swim bladder problem for some time), but the others are going strong.2 days ago I added
5 jumbo neons (for the harlequin & glo lite to shoal with)
2 albino corys &
my baby - a lovely Colomesus Asselus puffer
Just added some snails for my puffer to chow down on today.
Very addictive hobby - have already bought a second (larger) tank with a view to setting up a Puffer species tank later on in the year.
to the forum. Thanks to you, those fish in that neglected tank have a chance. Best of luck!
) I am picky, i want another curved glass tank. 
Good thing you came along when you did.
