Rainbow Posted December 13, 2021 Share Posted December 13, 2021 (edited) Hi I just inherited a nice 45 gal fish tank with live plants and some Rainbow fish (I think). I am just learning about it. I hope this forum can help me. The last fish tank I had was almost 30 years ago and I was just a kid. So I am really a newbie. I have been doing a lot of research already and learning about everything. Here is a few pics. Edited December 13, 2021 by Rainbow 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been doing a lot of research already and learning about everything. Here is a few pics. Good for you for doing research. This forum definitely can help, and tends to stay respectful and kind. Freely ask questions. I'm not familiar with the species, but in that close-up pic, the fish might have scales missing, or some other kind of boo-boo. That might be worth asking about. But it's wonderfully shiny! 🙂 I know that inheriting a tank can happen in both good and bad circumstances. I won't prod, but you have my well-wishes that your situation was a good one. Either way, I'm guessing you'll find joy in having the tank. Edit: nuance Edited December 13, 2021 by CalmedByFish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flumpweesel Posted December 14, 2021 Share Posted December 14, 2021 Nice starting point and welcome. The biggest learning curve is about the water changes and cycling I think there are some tuition vids on the Co op site so have a watch then start the questions , as with many things better to ask than guess and I have discovered lots of people here will help you out.
