Hello, my name is rissa, i have been keeping fish all my life, i have the best setup of fish at the moment. i have a 16 gallon community with 6 harlequin rasboras, 1 female Mickey mouse platy, 1 paleatus cory, 1 bronze cory, 1 panda cory, and one of my male bettas. I know im a little over stocked, but i have been keeping up on water changes with thorough gravel vacs. things are all going well with it, everyone gets along

*CODY!!! my almost 3 year old boy!!! Hes the best betta ever, and the most aggressive. He has an interesting story too. Here it is...

well i remember it like it was yesterday although it was 2 years ago, i had his small tank upstairs, it was a kritter keeper, and it was a pretty small one, but that was before i learned more about bettas. I was watching TV, when my parents came home from work. I had alot of stuffed animals on my dresser, with my betta in the center. My dad yelled down when he went to change out of his work clothes that i better come up. I ran upstairs and looked in my room, and saw my dresser knocked over, and all my stuffed animals all over the floor. I saw the kritter keeper knocked over with no water in it. I couldnt bare to see him dead *this was before i knew they could breathe surface air, so i thought he could only last like 2 minutes* , so i ran back downstairs crying my eyes out. My dad said he couldnt find him when he looked. I started crying more, and my mom said i could get a new betta, but i didnt want a new one. A little while later my dad yelled down that he found him, and he put him in the kritter keeper with freezing cold tap water *idiot* lol, and i ran upstairs, and picked up the tank, and wouldnt let it go, i was so happy. He was swimming around fine, no worse for the wear. I asked my grandma, who was there all day if she heard anything, and she said she heard a loud noise from upstairs after my dog ran up there, and it was about 12 pm when she heard it, and we found him at about 5 o'clock. we think thats the time he fell, and had been out of water for 5 hours, he may had just gotten knocked over, or it could have been since 12. No one really knows for sure, because my grandma didnt think anything of it, to go look.. i thank god everyday that cody survived, and now i am very conscious about where i put the tanks and stuff.*

Well those are my fish :hello2: :hello2:. Im excited to be part of this forum.

Love always,
Rissa

Your tank looks very nice. I love corys, I have two paleatus corys. They are my favorite freshwater fish. I think that I will post my tank sometime today. Thanks for sharin'.

Beautiful tank, and nice story. Once you get one betta, and you find out just how active and pretty they are, you want....just one more, and then just one more. Pretty soon, you have no more room in your bedroom. Betta's are awesome. I especially like your white one with black fins. What a cutie!
