400+ gallon mixed bag tank |
| About Yourself: |
Used to breed koi when i was a kid |
| Advice: |
Start gradually.
Dont over crowd
Dont over feed
Big tanks are easier to manage.
Dont skimp on decor as it reduces aggression between species and reduces stress on scaredy fish coz they can hide up.
Many plants are very sensitive to water chemistry, persevere to find the right type.
And buy decent filters and heating systems |
| Fish Kept: |
Various south american cichlids (dempsey, texas, brasiliensis, a few firemouths, cons)
Mbuna & Hemichromis variants
Aequidens
Bala sharks, black sharks, clown loach, other botia, ancistrus, pictus, synodontis, a dozen corys, danios and even a shoal of platies :)
A mad mixture of fish, but there's plenty of room and tank is stable and peaceful except at feed time.
Other (6ft) tank has guppies, platies, swordtails, corys, rams and a big ol' severum who's just celebrated his 8th birthday |
| Plants Kept: |
Cryptocorynes, swords, anubias, vallus, canadian pondweed, water lettuce, dwarf water lillies.
For the bigger hericthys, fake plants are better although they don't like to eat java moss. |

3x300w caged heaters
Secondary tank:
6'x2.5'x2'
2xEheim 400litre filters
2xDaylight tubes

| About Yourself: |
Got into the hobby throught a friend, had no idea how addictive it could be. I'v been keeping tropical fish for around 4 year on & off. |
| Advice: |
Get the biggest tank you can afford. From my experience the bigger the tank the easier it is to maintain water conditions. Research the water conditions you need for the type of fish you want to keep. |
| Fish Kept: |
2 Angel Fish, 2 Bala (Silver) Sharks, 5 Swordtails, 2 Blue Gouramis, 2 Clown Loach, 1 Pakistani Loach, 1 siamese alge eater, 1 Sailfin Plec, 1 unknown catfish was sold to me as an upside down catfish. I've just rescued 2 female Bettas & another plec |

110 Gal tank sits in my living room. I got it for a steal on Criagslist. It is 5' long and the highlight of my room. I have both a blue and white light but typically only have the white on. |

Most of us ask for advice when we know the answer but we want a different one. |
| About Yourself: |
I have five tanks - one of which is at work and is used to help calm upset kids. It also allows me relaxation moments as I look up to view my fish. |
| Advice: |
Check compatibility before you buy fish. Do your water changes so you won't have to wake up and find floating fish. And have fun with the hobby.
Also, visit local nurseries for landscape rock. Much cheaper than specialty stores. Just clean before adding to tank. |
| Fish Kept: |
Mostly Malawi Cichlids with a few river fish thrown in. Yoyo loach does quite well - almost too aggressive when cichlids were young. |
| Plants Kept: |
All decorative plants |
