Tank Size: 30

Description: 30 gallon Top Fin bow front tank. It was one of those "starter kits" it included the filter and heater. The heater died right away and made my fish sick from the temp change. Bought a new one, can't remember the brand, and haven't had a problem since. :)

Photo Caption: After some snail population explosion i restarted my set up by getting rid of the old subtrate and cleaning the tank with boiled water.Snails now under control. New 10mm golden gravel thoroughly rinsed and releveled to provide structure and good subtrate for future plantings. Gravel now 2" deep rising to 8" deep.This give the occupants a sense of deeper water in the left side whilst giving the protection of margins on the right.On the right I have errected a series of caves and dark places for the pleco and sucking loach.This seems to work well but enables me to see all fish even when they are in their caves. since i last logged on Ive also added 7 more neon tetras but lost the siamese fighting fish.

Quote: " I Don't Like Defining Myself, I Just Am" Britney Spears

About Yourself: Lets see I'm a Leo born in the year of the bunny. I like most people until they prove me wrong. I am currently on the verge of becoming a renaissance man. I invest in both stocks and real estate, I go to school for Hotel Management, And I work alot as a bartender. I work hard and play harder, on top of all that I still look good. I enjoy going to clubs/dancing, skiing, working out, reading, and making music. I'm a big time music junkie, I use to dance professionally and still do sometimes, for me it's a spiritual high. My traits include but are not limited to: charming, suave, thoughtful, graceful, creative, intuitive, intelligent, cultured, open minded, magnanimous, generous, spontaneous, outgoing, honest, caring, strong mined, out spoken, arrogant, conceited, cocky, disdain, vulgar, egotistical, obstinent, and spendthrift.

Advice: Don't go to the pet shop and try to pinch a penny, or you'll end up with something cheap. Fish tank's are not also a science but also a great deal of fun. especially decorating them. and also it's ok to think out side the box when doing so. just make sure your fish all get along, and spoil them with food regularly. they say betta fish are best kept alone, and that's not entirely true. in my experience, most bettas do fine with most fish if they have space for themselves. just get have at least a 5 gallon tank.

Fish Kept: I have a total of 22 fish. 9 baby kirbenses, 4 angle fish, 2 cherry shrimp, 2 sun catfish, 4 mollies (1 of them is a boy), and 1 boy Betta fish. I didn't name my kirbenses as they all look alike, but my angle fish are Micheal, Gabreal, Rapheal, and Ureal. My smaller cat fish is Sven, and my big catfish is Ceasar. My mollie are Horus, Aphrodite, Isis, and Mystery. My betta's name is Posidon. My two cherry shrimp's names are Cheif, and Picasso.

Plants Kept: I don't know what their called to be honest.

Tank Size: 10

Description: my 10 gallon tank is planted with both real and faux plants, with two pieces of mica that I light up from underneath the tank at night. I also have a large piece of natural glass on top of one of the bubble stones. my light is a standard light but sometimes I use gel sheets (clear, colored, plastic sheets used in live theater lighting) to create a really cool night affect. My filter is a tetra fish brand filter, and so is my heater and air pump.

Photo Caption: 30 gallon tank I just started working on. At the moment it only has two comet goldfish in it. The gold one is Sherbert and the other is Copper. I plan on replacing these two with many neon tetras and some plants. Its not finished but i plan for it to be done within like a week or two.

Advice: Try do everything that you are supposed to weather it be optional or not. But most importantly try to use local stores for anything instead of big corporations like Petco, just for the fact that you will save so much more if you go to a local store.

Fish Kept: Currently 2 Comet goldfish about 6 inches big

Plants Kept: None at the moment
