About Yourself: Got into fishtanks back in highschool with a very neglected goldfish. I started again about 2 years ago when I found a stream full of guppies, then got Gold fish again, then an Oscar and now this tank. I currently have 6 tanks in my house ranging from 10 gallon to 45 gallons. My 15 is probably my favorite.
Corals/Plants: Java Moss, Hydra Grass, various lillies
Tank Size: 15 gallons
Advice: Have a good cleanup crew in your tanks. Algae eater, shrimp and snails will clean up a lot of debris on their own and make maintenance minimal. Also, keep the tank where you will see them as much as possible, that way you notice any changes immediately. Also, once you plant something, leave it alone! They need some time to build up roots, or they will never get any larger.
