Thanks everyone for the warm welcome! Here is the link to the question I asked. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=96635&page=15 It's a kind of long post, but it's from my blog, so it is really detailed, plus there is additional info in the post made here that isn't in the blog post.

FireMedic, glad to meet you, too. I was starting to think I was the only girl here, LOL. I asked my sister to do some research for me, and just to make sure she understood that this for for an aquarium, i told her some of the problems I was having with the tank. She's a research librarian, and I have asked her to do research for me in the past because she has access to listservs I haven't even heard of. She got grossed out, told me she had to go, and hung up. *sigh*

Brandon, from what I have been reading, you might want to keep the 10 gallon as back up for sick fish, sort of a hospital tank. Or maybe to isolate plants before introducing them into the 'real' tank (which I wish I would have done, but I needed the plants, as i don't use an aerator), and you could use it to isolate new fish, too, to make sure they are disease free.

I have kids around your age (mine are almost 22, and married, just turned 19 and going into the Navy, and almost 16, who lives with her dad, and then I have the youngest, who I call MrBaby, and he is almost 3), so speaking from your mom's perspective, show her you can handle the ten gallon first, before going after the 20 gallon, and then see if she will let you pick up on some after-Christmas specials early next year.


Oh, and I put the mommy fish back in the tank. Not sure if she is better or not, but she seems to be happier, plus the gallon jar's water was getting cloudy. the red spot isn't as big now, but I still wouldn't be surprised if I lost her.

I found a picture online of what looks to be very simliar to what the worms in my tank look like. It is here. http://usinfo.state.gov/journals/itgic/0307/ijge/images/hall.jpg the worms in my tank also coil in a circle, but otherwise, they look just like these guys in the picture. Same color, and on my computer screen, they look the same size, even though this picture is (I'm assuming) from under a microscope. Anyone have any ideas of what this would be that swims around in my aquarium by wiggling around?
