I forgot more about ponds and koi than I'll ever know!

Just wanted to update everyone. I bought a filter and a heater today
for my 10 gallon tank. some beta safe bottom feeders and a snail to
keep the tank clean and warm. my beta (his name is Chuck) must have
really been cold. from the moment I had the heater turned on he was
hovering right near it. things are looking good so far. don't want to
add too many fish all at once. thanks for all the information!

Gwen,
I was hoping you would have read my other reply to you in the second
post you had made (different thread) before buying anymore fish.
Once again, there's 2 t's in Betta. I am assuming the spelling error
is from a mispronunciation of (very common lately). If it were said
like "bait-uh" the spelling would be beta, however, it's actually "bet-
uh" (Betta).

These poor fish need their proper name given back to them, lol. = )~
What type of bottom dwellers did you get and how many?
You also said you got a snail to keep the tank clean and warm. Snails
will eat some algae, and just about anything else they can find.
However, they aren't going to keep the tank warm. Don't forget snails
produce waste too.
They do not take the place of doing weekly water changes.
The water changes are going to be very important since you already
stocked the tank before it could cycle.
Do you have a gravel cleaner?
What type of filter and heater did you get?
