Hi! I'm Valerie and I have just gotten started with aquariums as the "first pet" for my 5 year old son this January. And unfortunately while we were on vacation there were some casualities. So we currently have a 10 gal tank with 3 bloodfin tetras, 1 silver lyre tail molly (the bully!), 2 otos, & 2 amano shrimp. We are in the process of upgrading to a 20 gal tank - it's taking me a little bit to get organized this month! We are going to put the 20 gal together as a project, and are really excited about it. :D I found this forum recently and have been so thankful for the wealth of information on it. It has helped quite a bit as well as being just plain fun to read.

Thanks so much for the welcome :) I am finding that it is very addicting to keep fish. So far, it's been great fun. I'm sure I'll have tons of questions as I progress on, so I'm sure I'll be sharing those as I go.

I spoke with Roy at GSAS who told me about the Sept speaker (Karen Randall) speaking on nano tanks - so I'm definately trying to attend that! I wish I'd be able to attend the talk about her trip to Taiwan before that, unfortunately I can't work that into my schedule. Which is a shame, I think it's so interesting to hear how another culture approaches an activity that we carry out as well. There's never just 1 way to do things it seems!
