[mztykal]

Well, my g/f wanted pet fish, so we went to the pet store and got some. They're now chilling in they're nice Eclipse tank.

Here's pics of the fish:

- Fish Picture 1 (slightly dark and blurry)

- Fish Picture 2 (better than the first)

Here's a pic of the g/f:

That should solve the whole "pics" question.

You're not supposed to put fish into a brand new tank. Hopefully they wont die.

My girlfriend chose most of the fish. All I chose were a Bala Shark and some kind of cat fish that swims on the bottom. The rest are Tetra's I think and a couple 24k Barbs.

I had the tank running for a hour with the bag of fish floating inside for around 30-40 minutes before I let them out into the tank.

You're suppsoed to establish the water quality and bacteria levels in the tank for several weeks. i.e., get tank today, set it up, test water quality, introduce bacteria to the tank, monitor water quality for two weeks, if it's good, the bacteria should be established by then, and you buy some fish.

And, yes, there are such things as helpful bacteria.

Um, thats too much work for fish that cost less than 5 dollars each.

Well, if these ones die, they will have at least introduced a few bacteria to the tank, so when you buy new ones in a few days they'll probably live Not to say that these ones are definitely going to die. They might live. I'd say 50/50.
