Hello from Vernon, IL

Hi! I've been out of the aquarium hobby for about 25 years. Finally have time again to start again. I have a 5 gal tank with a betta. Chico is a platinum betta male. He is a fun guy! He has a little fin rot. But meds are on the way. He still zooms around the tank and is eating. 

My husband found me a 40-45 gal tall tank for Free! It was at a yard sale. We got it home started cleaning it up and stripping sealer. It is currently in process to be my 1st planted tank. I want to have a few Angels with some Rams a couple Corydoras eventually. I found your videos on YouTube and then checked out the website. I put in my 1st order over the weekend. I. Really excited to have fish again. I just wanted to thank you all at Aquarium Co op for giving me great information that really encouraged me to get back into fish keeping. Thank you!

Hi .... We are neighbors ..... I cannot believe how close you are to me and I am very excited to have located you today ...... I live so near to your location I'm at 5 corners for many years.  I've been out of having fish for a long time and slowly want to go back to getting some.  I've built up my house plant collection and I now want to start growing plants in an aquarium and I might as well look to including a couple of fish if I can.   I can only fit a small tank into my small apartment.  I'm looking for a 2.5 or a 5.5 gal  and I cannot go beyond 10"wide.  I can do 10 gal but it has to be 10"wide. I would like very small cool water fish.  If I had 10gal maybe I could have 2 medium fish ... haha ...  Today I enjoyed watching some of your YouTube videos. I'll be by your store to say hi it will be nice to meet you ....

Chico is quite handsome! I love pure white bettas.
