Re: Just started

We have accepted a small (12L) children's tank with a few neon tetras, a shrimp, snails, a couple of overgrown plants, chemicals and basic accessories. It's not much but it's very exciting for us. With the cost of living as it is at the moment, this feels like a very special gift. Our 5 year old is ...
