A tale of two tanks.

Soon after the "betta explosion", I wanted more fish. I mean a lot more. No more single betta tanks, a tank of different fish. I did some planning and research and decided on getting a 55 gallon tank start up kit.

Shortly thereafter, my uncle offered me his 55 gallon tank. He had grown tired of fish keeping but didn't want to garbage all of his stuff. Hooray! Free stuff! Problem : at the time(July 08), i had no where to keep a tank. Catch: I had to take his fish he had in the tank. With the "problem" I can't accept the "catch". I sadly declined his offer.

The basement was finished that summer giving me a place to start my watery fish world. I saved up and purchased that starter kit. In all the planning, Tom's interest in fish had peaked. A few weeks after I bought my kit, my uncle calls. He emptied his tank and he needs to get rid of it... Do I want it now? Heck yeah! So it was then that Tom and I had 2 fish tanks, one for each of us

Both tanks are now up and running. I have small pretty fish, Tom is leaning more towards bigger ugly fish. To each his own. :)
