Only the strong survive !!! |
| About Yourself: |
I am a cancer survior, this hobby has been a life saver!!! It is so relaxing and peaceful. I have come to appreciate the most out of life. I can only suggest if you take pride in anything you do, this hobby is most satisfying. The average person who see's your work are almost alway's in amazement, and want to start the fish craze themselves. |
| Advice: |
The best advice I can give to any new hobbyists are to do your water changes and do not get lazy!
The cleaner your tank the healthier your fish. I do water changes weekly and monthly filter maintenance and my fish could not be happier!! |
| Fish Kept: |
I only have 1 black Angel, Platies & Mollies that have babies every other month. 2 Algae eaters and 2 bottom feeders. |
| Plants Kept: |

Aulonocara sp. "Stuartgranti Maleri" (Maleri Is.) |
| Quote: |
Always a Pleasure, Never a Chore |
| About Yourself: |
Im am a 22 year old young man who is currently setting up a business setting up and maintaining aquariums in the north west of England, If you know anyone that may be interested please tell them to visit www.Rent-An-Aquarium.com |
| Advice: |
Keep it clean! I do 45-50% water changes every week without fail. Also over filter your tanks as much as you can, I put twice the filtration recommended, it keeps the water cleaner, safer and more movement, If you can afford another filter theres no disadvantage |
| Fish Kept: |
Theres a few too many to list in my tanks now but basically, Male Only Aulonocara and Haps - Cichlids |
| Plants Kept: |
Plastic Plants, Ive never been a big fan of real plants. |

| About Yourself: |
I started off with aquariums with my father when I was around 5 years old. Back then, I was more of the cleaner/maintenience boy then anything else. Now that I have my own place, I have 9 tanks, looking into getting a tenth soon (takeover my father's tank) I have been recently spending most of my time doing my Discus homework. I have a great set-up now with 11 Discus total, and I want to try and start breeding them. My main African tank is doing very well, I am carrying wellover a hundred different sorts of fry.. our last batch was 42 Electric Blues.. which I am really excited about. I'm having so much fun with this hobby, I can wait to pass it on someday. |
| Advice: |
Patience... the most important thing is patience.. but it's also the hardest to do too. Do your research on all equipment and know what your buying and using. Money can be wasted from both equipment and your fish. Some stuff I lucked out on, many things I found that can be much easier in matenience/ and overall use. Then ther are things you just buy because of the price... I really wasted a bit of money on horrible heaters.. within a few months all they do is take up room in the trash can now. I now have learned my lesson and before buying anything I now do TONS of research online, and over the phone.. trying to get as many opinions and suggestions as possible.. Most of the time you will find a pattern in peoples opinions. Nothing is better than having a great, easy, healthy, and beautiful aquarium... the horrible thing is losing those gorgeous finds because you rushed into something your not certain of. Don't learn the hard way.. it's really not worth it, trust me! |

| Description: |
I set this tank up after I got my own place. Several changes have occured since then, but the tank is doing very well at the moment. I am looking into taking over my father's tank, when I figure out how to move it over to my place. I added a daylight and blue actinic light to bring out some more of the colors in the tank. I have a standard double air pump with a wall of bubbles come up in the background. I try my best to lay off of the plants as much as I can, but sometimes I add it for a couple more hiding places for the smaller ones/females. I use lots of Lace rock, (I love the look) and I have added a bit of driftwood. Filters I use a few Whisper Tetras, but I am looking to switch to something else sometime in the future. |

ive gone thru several different setups and still have yet to decide what to do with my most recent. i had a pirahna setup with 8 piranhas about 7 inches each, than i decided to go with lake malawi cichlids and oscars, and now ive fallen in love with african peacocks and am still trying to see what to do with the decorations in my tank to best match their colors and needs. |

filtration and lighting makes all the difference in the world. keep your tank clean and filtered at all times and chose a light best suiting ur tank setup and fish. |
