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 Kept: Live Plants
Tank Size: 29
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

Fish Kept: german breed red peacock.
Corals/Plants Kept: I have a few asst. swords and a few crypts on the left of which, i'm not sure the type. but should grow thin and curly,plus long. will update soon with some speices names.
Tank Size: 75
Advice: My advice is the same as most peoples, read everything you can find on the care of the speices of fish you like ,investigate future tanks mates just the same.
Buy the biggest tank you can afford.Because water perameters won't change so drastically in larger tanks.
Also and most important do not over stock your tank with fish,unless you have a large sump filtation system or an expensive canister filter. This i just my opinion but it will save you in the long run as far your pump's filter media cost's.. HOPE THIS HELPS..
ps. Can't find a special fish at you local pet shop?
Thinking about trying an online store?
Go to Bluegrass Aquatics.com and email Eddie Martin (owner) with any questions regarding speices you would like. It's just a better way to buy fish online.
