| About Yourself: |
I have switched from african and south american cichlids, to more docile fish, yes i know discus are cichlids, lol well i am more than just dabbling these days in planted aquariums, lol anything worth doing is worth doing right and with your foot to the floor so to speak, patience is key but don't be afraid once you have a properly cycled tank to add as many plants as you can properly sustain. |
| Advice: |
read, read, and read some more, don't go into anything blindly, the more knowledgeable you are the better off you are going to be and the less money you will waste. take your time and work up to it! |
| Fish Kept: |
discus, angels, tetras, cory cats many variety, fresh water clams, fresh water flounder, snails, algae eaters, danios,fw dwarf puffers, german blue ram,neons, and a few other misc fish from another tank i had setup. |
| Plants Kept: |

LOL ok sorry just had to do it. |

| About Yourself: |
My very first plant was given to me by a friend. I became very quickly attached to planted tanks with varied success. After giving up for many years to persue other interests ive only begun to keep tanks again over the last year.
I would like to regain my confidence and hopefully start entering some contests next year.
|
| Advice: |
Learn to master growing plants before trying to master aquascaping. I failed initially trying to be Amano with no experience at growing plants. Im much happier now learning how to grow beautiful plants, when im ready i will try my hand at aquascaping. |

ottocinclus,sae,clown loach and glass shrimp. |

| About Yourself: |

| Advice: |
Start with a tank that is at least 20gal. A smaller tank is harder to keep healthy. Try to make the tank look as natural as possible or you'll get sick of it very fast and be embarrassed that you ever thought it looked good. "What was I thinking?! Blue gravel, plastic flowers, sunken treasure!!" |
