About Yourself:
I am 29 years old and I work in sales, but my passion is my fish. I have six tanks that range in size from 2.5 gallons to 58 gallons and largely keep goldfish. I also have blood parrots, dojo loaches, canaliculata snails, brig snails, guppies and bettas.
Fish Kept:
Largely fancy goldfish, some dojo loaches, guppies, bettas, and a tank of blood parrots.
Corals/Plants:
20 Gallon High soon to be stocked with an assortment of low-light/hardier plants.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Always follow the 10 gallons per goldfish rule of thumb; if you do not, you'll lose your investment.

About Yourself:
I have loved fish all my life, I also have a koi pond. I don't feel like myself unless I have water near me...this aquarium is about 4 feet from my desk in my office. I am a tax accountant and this keeps me sane.
Fish Kept:
1 Ghost knife,14 Rainbow (bosemani, turquoise, irian red, madagasgar and a few more),4 tiger barbs, gouramis(2 pearl and 2 opaline), 9 neon tetras,1 crosstail betta, 1 fiddler crab, clam and a singapore flower shrimp.
Corals/Plants:
Ambulia,coffefolia,myrio, bacopa, tiger lotus, ludiwigia, java moss, echinodorus,
riccia, pennywort, anubis nana, water sprite.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
If you don't find it relaxing don't start this. To me it's like a tranquilizer. Planted aquariums need frequent water changes and trimming of plants. It's like taking care of a backyard but in 4 ft of space. Time consuming and I love every second.
