That is great! The bigger the better! What kind of fish where you keeping in the 1 gal? If you would upgrade may i suggest at least a 29g or larger. I haven't had the chance to enjoy a larger tank and I know they are a lot of fun.

I'm from the Hampton area, and if you are this far east you should look at Animal Jungle in VA Beach for good deals on tank set ups!

O.O and to think i thought my 1 gallon looked small for my male betta :/ those comets make the tank look even smaller lol. Buy the biggest tank you can manage/afford is my advise you will not be unhappy.
