Wanted a fish tank, for Mrs Slingshot (OK, me too)
Thought on it a few days and went to Wal Mart and got the 5 gallon. A good set up. 30$ gets you a tank, lights and lid and filter.
After you buy all the extras (gravel, decorations, pump, airstones, splitters and line, extra filters) it was 65$.
We would need to drive (get a ride) 40 miles to buy fish.
I went 6 blocks to the river with a minnow net, got 8 minnows one is a "dairy cow". Have 6 grass shrimp (they are freshwater and don't grow bigger than one inch, great garbagemen)
Also have a "flounder". They grow as big as a silver dollar but are freshwater fish. (eyes on top, sideways mouth) Looks like a flying carpet when it leaves the bottom.
I could watch it for hours, a tank is mesmerizing.
