SHARKS ROCK!!!! |
| About Yourself: |
I have always loved fish i grew up with them helping my uncle since i was six but then my uncle thought it was time foe me to get my own tank when i turned 12 so he took me to buy my own tank and I've kept my male and female maroon banded clown fish and always loved sharks my whole life so i finally decided to get my final brown banded bamboo sharks. ilove to build tanks and i just decided to make my 4ft by 4ft octagon for my new sharks. |
| Advice: |
start with something simple like damsels easy to take care of for your first fish don't go out and spend loads of money on something cool and expensive because new salt water tanks take time to set up. |
| Fish Kept: |
maroon clown fish 5 years, I've had other brown banded sharks but got interested in tangs which for some reason i cant keep alive same with angelfish. only fish i've kept alive for long periods of time were yellow tang which i ended up selling because it was to aggressive towards my other fish i have also had good luck with my clowns and bamboo sharks which I've hatched many and sold due to size. |
| Plants Kept: |
I've kept many anemones for the clowns but they would only last for about 5 months they would do perfectly fine in those months and for no reason die off |

| Description: |

| About Yourself: |
Im a student at the university of houston. I will graduate in December with a degree in political science and minor in architecture. I hope to get into residential project management after school. I got into fish tanks by chance about 5 years ago. A friend of mine had a large fresh water tank so when I got my own place, i started with a 10 gallon fresh water. Like everyone else in this hobby you get hooked and before you know it you've spent thousands of dollars and killed alot of fish, but once you get it down, theres no better hobby in the world, except maybe golf. I hope to increase my tank size someday, maybe a whole wall in my house! |
| Advice: |
Its a major investment of time and money. talk to people who have tanks and find a knowledgable fish store near your house, not the kid who works at the pet store! You need someone who actually has experience. keeping fish is a challenge, especially saltwater. most of the fish you'll want live in very specific places on Earth, in their natural habitat. You are trying to recreate these condtitons, that only exist in a few small places, in a tank! this is no easy task! you'll learn as you go. fish will no doubt die and money will be lost. But remember it is a hobby not piece of art, that requires no work once purchased, people like when they come over. A tank requires hours per week of maintainence, even with the best equipment. Its fun and challenging. The most important thing i've learned is: you can not over filter your water! Bigger is better! |
