In a ten gallon freshwater tank… 2 neons 1 red eye tetra 1 pleco 1 ghost tetra, “Spot”, who is approaching his **sixth** anniversary of the day that I brought him home. A few fake plants, a sandstone arch, and a pyramid/columns “ruins” dealy that my pleco spends most of his time inside of. ---

I’ve got 3 guppies and 1 lyretail molly. Yesterday I added… **Ghost Shrimp**! These are the absolute coolest things ever! After I fed the fish last night I noticed that suddenly the transparent shirimp had bright red tummies. When I took off my glasses and got really close to the tank I could actually see the peristalic motion of their stomachs. Very cool. ---

I’ve got a 10 gallon freshwater tank. In it is a filter, a neon pink rock formation, fake driftwood, a gargoyle named Sigmond Freud, and a broken piano. The inhabitants are: Fluffy IV–took over when Fluffy V died–a blue beta Frito–a striped catfish Good Larry–an algae eater Spiffy–a yellow snail There were some former inhabitants, which Spiffy ate. There were three red platys–Mustafa, Diesal, and Zappa; an algae eater named Larry, and a black snail named Sam. My aquarium was a gift to me from one Princess Francheska Ronaldi, DemiGoddess of Small Woodland Creatures Who Are Horny…and it has a tag across the top stating that fact.
