Ever since my hamster Theodore died, I have had a longing for a new pet. After cleaning out the basement and finding a large quantity of fish supplies, I became obsessed with fish. I prepared the 10 gallon tank and made several trips to PetCo to buy additional supplies ( a submersable heater, a bubble tube, fish food, and thermomiter). In the beginning, there were a few problems with the tap water ph, so I went to Petsmart to purchase a ph down solution. I ended up going home with a fake piece of drift wood and 3 Ghost Shrimps, 2 Guppies (male and female) and 1 catfish. After lowering the ph (from 7.8 to 7.0) and acclimating the fish to the new water, I released the fish. They are now happily swimming in my new tank. In the future I plan on upgrading from a 10 gallon tank to a 250 gallon tank (when I have enough money). I also plan on having a 24/7 webcam stream of the tank. I will have an update in a few weeks.
Here are some pictures of the tank and fish.
