About Yourself:
im 29 years old and have only been keeping fish for about three years now. i used to do a lot of fishing when i was younger. and thought it would be great to see fish under water rather from above. i first started with gold fish but after a year and about ten books later a started keeping fresh water topical fish.
Fish Kept:
3clown loach, 3tinfoil barbs, 4red torpedo barbs,3cherry barbs,2 rainbow fish,3bristle cat fish,1shrimp 1 bulldog catfish.
Corals/Plants:
fake plants due to tinfoils and clown loach eating all my real ones!.
Tank Size:
25 gallons
Advice:
make sure you have your tank water cycled before adding fish. meaning water parameters are: ammonia 0, nitrite 0, yor can do this in a few ways. the way i do it is by adding fish food each day untill you get nitrate reading. this can take up to three weeks.

Youll never no till u try.
About Yourself:
Ive been keeping fish for 13 years , have had several freshwater tanks and 2 saltwater tanks , out of about 40 fish ive had ive only lost 3 in 13 years , a stable enviroment and not making big changes all at once to a tank is the key, always overfiltrate if the box says the filter is good for 50 gallons and u have a 50 gallon tank buy 2 of them
Fish Kept:
In this tank I have a red tiger oscar and a cobalt blue , any petstore will tell you they cant live together peacefuly , but given the right conditions and the proper food requirements and adequate terrritories they will do fine , although I dont recomend mixing africans and south americans together untill u are educated in both.
Corals/Plants:
just fake plants in this tank
Tank Size:
30 gallons
Advice:
Take your time and let your newly decorated tank run on its own for at least 2 weeks , better yet a month before you introduce your first few fish , it will be well worth it in the long run. Cut the standard inch of fish per gallon rule in half and your fish wil be much happier and healthier do water changes every week 15% and dont be afraid to try new things slowly.only make one change at a time , fish need time to adjust to changes in there enviroment , keeep a steady temp. about 79 is good for almost every species.
And last but not least dont overfeed your fish some fish will eat until they expode , 2 or 3 times a day feed as much as they will eat in 3 minutes without excess faling to the gravel and offer a variety of food not just flake , try lettuce and peas oatmeal and a good pellet. And look closely at your fish everyday to spot signs of stress or disease , watch out for white spots on the fins this is very common in new tanks and new fishkeepers , but it is curable with proper treatment.
