About Yourself: Dad is a fish supplier of African cichlids, So I was raised in the hobby.
Fish Kept: Almost every kind of freshwater fish, My dad owns a fish hatchery, so I've been lucky to dabble in a little of everything.
Corals/Plants: Live Plants
Tank Size: 29 gallons
Advice: If you buy a Bio cube, I found adding some Plastic netting on the back to keep fish from jumping over the back into the filter has saved more Tetras Lives than I could count. Also don't be afraid to add to the filter, some small tweaks have gone a long way. The lights really make Glo Danios stick out looking almost like a saltwater fish, Its really neat at Night

Quote: What's more baby I can cook
About Yourself: I had fish as a kid and always said I would get another tank as an adult. My husband finally purchased a 30 gallon for my birthday. That was in 1992. I have been hooked ever since. In the early days I kept a community tank and eventually decided that I loved the cichlids of South America. I kept dwarf cichlids for a few years and then moved to Angelfish. I have had some sort of Angelfish in my tank for the last few years. I had a brief stint with Altum Angels and now I am in love with Discus. Ironically enough when I changed teh tank I was going to invest in a group of pearl gourami's thus the dark background and dark substrate. Discus usually look better (don't pepper or darken) with lighter background and substrate but they were a gift. Once the plants grow in not much of the substrate will show anyway.
Fish Kept: Discus, a clown pleco, two panda cories and a school of Lemon Tetras. I'm also saving to buy a group of sterbai cories. There is also a lone rummy nosed tetra left. I had those for years and they began to die off. Not sure if there is an ugly old picture of a rummy under my tank somewhere this fish has to be at least 6 years old.
Corals/Plants: Cryptocoryne balanse Cryptocoryne lutea Cryptocoryne parva Cryptocoryne pontederifolia Cryptocoryne retrospiralis Cryptocoryne wendtii bronze, red, green Eleocharis parvula (Dwarf hairgrass) Microsorum pterous (Java Fern) Nymphaea zenkeri (Red Tiger Lotus) Vesicularia dubyana (Java Moss)
Tank Size: 75 gallons
Advice: Read, read, read. Grab every book, magazine internet article you can find on the fish and plants you are interested in. There is a lot of misinformation out there on the internet but the more you read the quicker you will be able to decipher fact from fiction.
