Hi and Thank-You to all involved in this site. I have been reading and learning on here for the last few weeks {I google everything I dont understand.... I have been googling a whole lot} I am 60 years old and brand new to fish...lol I now have two, 30 gallon tanks, somewhat cycled {Yayyyyy} I broke the big .... cycle for many weeks......Rule....... last night . I was soooo damn impatient, at waiting, that I picked up a few fish { I know....bad old bag here } I have had my tanks cycled for about 2 weeks with the product Stability { following Stability directions }. I now have 9 little Harlequin Rasboras in 1 tank, and, 4 Rosey Barbs in the other. I think these little guys are possably old enough to vote since I got them at the small pet shop here in Westlock. I am Now praying for their survival and my dumb luck to combine in a possative outcome for all of us. I come up with all sorts of questions that are so very embaressing to even ask in here .... It is hard for me 2 admit how little I know about what should be, easy to figure out 4 myself things, such as .... How The Heck do I Get The Lid on correct when the darn filter is in my way ??? I think other newbies might feel the same about asking what we know must sound like we are really dumb [no-one likes to feel stupid}, perhaps we might, if others also see a need,... have a safe place have these kind of questions asked and answered without embaressing ourselves completely. I would love a topic started where everyone involved in this wonderfull hobby can post " What Silly Mistakes can You Admit To When You Were A Newbie ??? " I think this could be a great thread.... as we confess and laugh at ourselves and with each other { we could probably learn as well, instead of makeing the same mistakes }. OK Everyone Who wants 2 start the "True Confessions" Thread ? Thanks 2 Everyone for being here for us ....."Newbies" PS / don't bother telling me that I am an awfull speller, and not very computer savy ...As ... I already have that information {lol} LadyBlue
