Well! So here I am trying to learn something new every day for the sake of my 3 adopted fire bellies. My grandchildren had these three little guys and when I would go visit it made me ill. They were in the dark, way up high on a tall bookshelf in their tank, fed occasionally when the money and mood fit in and in a filthy, never kept up state.

I went there a few weeks ago and flew off the handle....finally. I let them all know (parents included) that they didn't deserve to own those three little critters and I insisted the tank with the three in it be delivered to my home the following morning. I have since completely thrown out the old aquarium and just purchased a cheap new one just a 10 gallon. The day I took them they were sitting in a puddle of dried up water that was an inch of mud, the light blown, hadn't eaten for well over a week, a real horror!

So they now have a clean swimming hole, clean home with no more plastic but live plants, not just crickets but worms too and they seem so up and about and happy now. Anyway, hi. I will be skulking around here trying to learn a few things from everyone else and thanks! Dot from MA
