i have a fishtank.. i keep a catfish, chinese algae eater, goldfish, and turtle in it.
the chinese algae eater i bought because it looked cool but after some research i found it might harass the other fish so i kinda wish i didnt have it but, i'm stuck with it. i'd feel bad if i gave it away and the other owner didn't take good care of it.
i have the catfish because its a bottom feeder fish and helps to keep the tank floor clean. the turtle creates a big mess when its eating.
the turtle i got from my roomate. she actually bought it for her 10 yr old cousin but her mom wouldn't let her keep it, so i kept it.
i originally started out with just a turtle but the tank looked empty so i gradually added fish. i keep live plants in the tank because it looks much better than plastic plants.
i bought 3 different kinds of plants, i think i spent about $12 total. i have two bunch plants and one sword. the tank looks awesome with live plants. i will never again use fake plants.

i also have a 8 month old chiwawa-yorkie mix.
i love her to death. she's the best dog an owner can ask for.
i dont have any pix online of either (tank or dog) but when i get some, i'll post them.
