| Description: |
I just set my tank back up after a couple of years.I had2 Jack Dempseys a convict and a algae Eater.they had dinner disputes so now i am with a green terror.I just recently got a blue channel catfish about 8 inches.
I am thinking about going with some different decor but i love the natural look.I run 2 lights a moonlight and a reg old fluorescent i have them on timers i have found if the light cycle is regulated the fish seem to be happier. |

My fish habitat. 55g. I wanted it to look more natural to a real environment and not overly designed. Although it wasn't meant to mimic any realistic environment. I wanted to try to expand the space for the fish and try to make it so there were many things to swim around and varied locations for them. I took wood from the ohio river for the vertical pieces and screwed them to thick plexi which is under the rocks and couple of different kind of plants. Its currently hads 2 golden gourmamis, 5 glass fish, cori catfish, red tail shark, bushy nose pleco, and a zebra danio (my first fish from two years ago!) Just today i set up CO2 for the tank. I'm excited cause i will be able to get some plants i have wanted to get so it may change quite a bit soon. |

Research Research Research and when you think you have figured out what you are going to do don't take advice from the good people at PetsMart go to a LFS. And don't buy fish from Petsmart either ... they will just die and that goes for walmart too. |

New tank after move to Alaska |
| Quote: |
"The seamonkeys took my money!!" |
| About Yourself: |
I've always loved keeping fish. I find the tank maintenence great therapy in the rush of everyday life and love to sit and watch my fish with a glass of wine! They're very relaxing and rewarding! |
| Advice: |
Research and read. It's hard to not get impatient when setting up a new tank because it's exciting to buy and introduce new fish. But the "fun" will soon end if you begin dealing with murky, messy water and dead fish by not knowing and understanding cycling. It also NEVER ceases to amaze me how little most pet store employees know about fish. Especially the big box stores. I've heard some of the worst advice being given to people who are trying to get started and I always feel badly for them. Rely on your own research and/or friends in the hobby and research not only tanks, filters, water, etc but also the fish you want to keep! And beware of the "Noah syndrome" by buying two of every fish. Schools of species are much more interesting and fun to watch. |
| Fish Kept: |
A simple community tank right now while my tank matures. Will add a school of congo tetras as my showcase fish once I have a few more months of aging on this tank. |

| Description: |
Typical 55 gallon setup. I run two filters, one 30-60 Whisper and one 60 Aquatech. I know many people use and swear by bio-wheels but I've never had good luck with them and have been using 3 stage power filters of various types for many years now. My lighting is typical and nothing extrordinary. This tank is very new after recently moving across the country. The water was a challenge in our new home, but have finally got a handle on it. |
