20 Gallon Fish Tank

Todd's Aunt Linda had given Mason a (2 gallon) fish tank for his 2nd birthday. We started it up and found that we really enjoy it. Since we have really expanded our fish gallery. With some of my Christmas money I bought a 20 gallon fish tank off Craig's List. I was so proud of my find. It was the tank, 2 filters, air rocks, 4 pumps, the rock, backgrounds, fish nets, plants, chemicals, fish food, and cleaner equipment. Everything was in very great working shape. I bought some $4 tubing and retubed everything and we got it going. I was able to move all of our previous fish over to the tank (even the betta) and with help and advice from a private pet store in town I have been able to add a few more fish that have been hearty and fun to watch.
Our new 20 gallon tank

We especially like to watch them eat. We have a betta, frog, cory catfish, and neon that we had before. We have added 3 ghost shrimp, 3 orange tetras and 3 silver tipped tetras. The shrimp are so cool to watch because they are clear so you can see them eat and digest their food.
