Because I didn't buy them. I wasn't even asked. My mom got my 5 year old two ADFs in one of those Brookstone "ecosystem" things for his birthday. As soon as I saw it, I knew there was NO way this was a good idea so I came here and saw the other thread confirming my suspicions.

I have to go to the pet store this afternoon anyway so I would like some quick advice on what I should get to properly care for them and I will do all my proper research later.

I have a 10 gallon tank and a 20 gallon long. 5 gallons are cheap if those would work better. Does it matter how fine the gravel is? I have some larger gravel in the 10 gallon already.

I know I will need plants, what kind are good? I have frog pellets and bloodworms. They're supposed to get 2 pellets each twice a week, that doesn't seem like enough.

A quick list would be great if anyone sees this in the next few hours.
