Talking Thanking the search engines I found this site!

Howdy, all!

I'm Megan from Arizona.
I'm relatively new to the aquarium scene and am TOTALLY digging it! Have been having fun researching and watching my fish. I need to get another, larger tank. I'm hooked.

I've always had Betta Splendens and decided to get a larger, community tank. Thus began my voyage.

At the moment, I have one 2.5 gal. aquarium with a purple crowntail betta "Nani".

My community tank is 10 gal freshwater. I've gone through all of the motions, and the population is officially set at 10.
5 Neon Tetras, 2 Yo Yo Botias, 2 Platies, and 1 Chinese Algae Eater.

I'm SOOOOO glad to have found this site! I've already learned a TON more here than all other sources (including the local fish stores) combined.

Thanks to all for the help, advice, and laughs!

CT also commonly refers to CrownTails, that is, Crown-Tailed bettas.
