    Default greetings!

    heeellllloooo everybody! i have always had interests with fishes and shrimps but didn't want to buy a tank because i knew that i would end-up killing my fish if i had one. so, about a month ago i was looking around a garage sale and *ding-ding-ding* i found a starter 10g tank with the pump and light so i bought it (hoping it worked). my shrimp mania brother got it fixed and told me to wait and establish the tank 1st but i didn't know what the heck he was saying so i bought about 10 danios, 3 guppies, 4 tetras etc. the next day and all of them died after a couple of days. i bought another set the next week and they died as-well, not knowing the reasons. finally after 2-3weeks when my male guppy survived my brother gave me 8 of his dalmatian mollies to keep and thankfully all of them survived and gave birth as well and that's how i started. my brother is a member of BCA and introduced me to this site. sorry, for the story (quite long n boring)

    finally got the courage to introduce myself to the community.
