| About Yourself: |
I am a 3D animator that has been an aquarist for about a year... I kept many terrariums in the past 2 years. I was into plants first and it led me from houseplants to keeping terrariums to creating aquariums and paludariums. I spend an average of 10 hours a week keeping up this tank. It is a great joy. Thank you for looking at it. It is an honor to have you view it. |
| Advice: |
Let you tank cycle... don't be a victim of new tank syndrome! |

Final set-up of my 30 gallon Planted Community tank. Tank gets co2 and liquid fertilizer, no special substrate, just play sand and no special lighting. The main fish are my paired Bolivian Rams. Tank has 2 pieces of driftwood, a large piece and a small piece of Mopani wood. There are small river rocks for the Rams to spawn on and all plants are real. Tied to the big driftwood is Java ferns, Java Moss and Christmas Moss. Floating in the top corner is a clump of Hornwort which my Gourami and Dwarf Frogs like to hang out in. I have a Philodendron house vine rooting in the tank next to the filter output. You can see the roots coming down into the tank; it is even growing leaves inside the water now. It has taken me 2 years of fussing and tweaking to get this tank the way I have always wanted. All natural, nothing fake in it. |

| About Yourself: |
My son gave me a 20 gallon tank 2 years ago and that grew into a 55 gallon Lake Malawi Mbuna set-up, and a 30 gallon planted community set-up and 2 fry tanks. I really enjoy watching the interactions and parenting behaviors of my fish. |
| Advice: |
Read all you can about a type of fish you are thinking about. Do your research first!! Don't just buy on impulse, you may very well regret it. ALWAYS remember, those small fish you bring home will grow up someday, so take that into account. Use adult size when filling a tank, not the size they are right from the store. No, you cannot keep community fish with African cichlids! They may all get along now, but when the cichlids reach maturity they WILL kill off the community fish!

| 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. |
| Fish Kept: |
ottocinclus,sae,clown loach and glass shrimp. |
| Plants Kept: |
From left, Micranthemum Umbrosum, Echornia diversifolia, Eusteralis stellata, Alternanthera reneickii, Rotala rotundifolia, Rotala macrandra, Ammania gracilis.

Many more but thats the basis of what you see.. |

This pic is at 4 weeks old. Plants doing very well in the Tetra Complete substrate (with sand and grit) and feeding once a week with Nutrafin Plant Gro.
08-12-07 (8 weeks) - will need to get a new pic as the plants are much bigger now. The Star Grass on the rear left has been chopped back once already. |
| Advice: |
I lost 2 tetras in December 07. Lots of gasping from them and then death. Had a chat with the LFS and got my water checked out. I was advised to treat the tank with ‘eSHa Exit’ as the water looked fine, but the gasping could be a sign of a parasite. A week after treatment all the fish are much more active and look so much brighter!
Always take your time and use plenty of towels! |
