No stand, and more babies.

Well I set the tank up on my new stand...it sloshed quite a bit if I pushed on it. I was afraid it might actually move, or tip over if the cat were to jump off of it. (My cats like to sit on the fish tanks sometimes) And even if nothing disastrous happened, it really sloshed to much. So I am looking for a piece of furniture to set the tank on...
This past week I had baby guppies, as well as baby swordtails born. I have about 14 more baby guppies, and 16 more baby swordtails. I already had about 20 guppies, and 1 swordtail that are about a month old. They are in a 5 gallon tank. I added all these little babies to that tank.
I will keep looking for a stand for the tank, and hopefully be setting it up soon.

Another tank

Well right now I have one 30 gallon and one 15 gallon high tank set up. I am also 'borrowing' Paige's 5 gallon tank to house my babies. Yesterday my parents picked up another stand for me. It will hold a 10 gallon tank on the top and I can move the 5 gallon frog tank to the bottom. I only paid about $20 for the stand, so I think that's worth it! I will soon be setting up the tank, and my goal is to eventually move my babies into this tank. Right now I have most of my adult fish in the 30 with one female Betta. In the 15 I have several small guppies and a few half-grown swordtails. I also have one female Betta in there. I have my male Betta floating in a small plastic tank inside the 15. I let him out sometimes. He and the female get along okay. He just chases her sometimes. The two females DO NOT get along. They have gotten into some interesting fish fights before...
The 5 gallon frog tank has our African Clawed Frog in it. He cannot go with the fish because he would probably eat them.
