    Yup yup! :slight_smile: I have a 20 gallon tank with two Red Wag Plays and a Black Molly. I've only had them for about a half year, so its still a little new to me. I originally wanted to eventually upgrade to a bigger tank and more (and fancier) fish, but the upkeep for three fish is enough for me. I also have a turtle, so I'm caring for plenty of animals (I'm maxed out - I refuse to get any more). :lol: And I love the three fish that I have already, no need for more.

    Just googled Parrot Cichlids. They're beautiful fish! :slight_smile:

    I had a few neon tetras in a betta tank...and never cleaned it...and always forgot to feed them...and then I went off to college and I forgot them at home...and my dad found them a week or so later and fed them...and the tank got filthier and filthier...and eventually a girl I know came and switched them out for her Archie comics. I'm not great with pets that live in cages, I get bored of them.

    When I was little we had a decent-sized tropical fish tank. One winter we went to Mexico, and people stayed in our house to look after everything while we were away. They went to change the water, and found distilled water under the bathroom sink. They poured it into the tank. It was vinegar. (sigh)

    I've got a small five gallon tank with some neon tetras in it. I did start out with eight tetras and a pleco, but then the pleco and four of the tetras died. But having fish to look at is nice - it provides a nice distraction from homework since the fish are on my desk XD

    You mentioned above you've got two betta's in the same tank...I thought more than one betta was a bad idea because they'll start fighting?

    It is a bad Idea to have more then one male Betta in 1 tank but my tank is 50gal it's huge and I only have 3 Bettas in there so they barley see each other lol

    Nope, although if I were to have any kinds of pets, they'd be fish.
