| Advice: |
If I were to give anyone words of advice I would tell them to be patient, good things take time to develop.
Too many people rush into things and fail to allow their aquariums to reach their full potential.
Read as much as can, books and forums are great tools. This hobby has many great people ready and able to answer almost all questions thrown their way. So if you’re unsure about anything please ask. Hopefully as the years pass this hobby will become more accessible; with new technologies developing rapidly it’s an exciting time to be in this hobby.

"Just keep swimming, just keep swimming, just keep, swimming, swimming, swimming." |
| About Yourself: |
Been in the hobby for about five years. My very first fish was an Oscar. Then moved over to the freshwater comunity tank. I then went on to African Cichlids, then made the move to fully planted aquariums, now I am a owner of one 26 gallon bowfront planted aquarium, and my 46 gallon bowfront reef aquarium. I love bowfronts! |
| Advice: |
Keep your fish happy and healthy, and try to make them feel at home as much as you can. |
