Fish are way messier than turtles. Not worth cleaning up after, in my opinion.

My catfish both got eaten pretty quickly, I've had luck with tetras and platys. Not one eaten and it's been a few weeks. I think my guaramis should fare well too but we'll see, they've only been in there for a few days.

I went to my Local pet store this morning and bought 4 more neon tetras.Ugh had ammonia poisoning...Dead CAEs Ill post pics soon.I was pretty sad when I saw them selling a baby RES at the store..It was swimming in a tank but I saw that it's red band was faded.It had a basking spot but no heat lamp.I think it's not in the best of conditions..
