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.

Advice:
Before you go and jump into getting fish, tank, etc., make sure you do plenty of research. The more you do, the more you know about the tank, the fish you want, and how to take care of everything. In doing this, you are going out and finding what you want, doing what you want, and enjoying what you want, without the petshop owner telling you "what you want".

'Good Luck Mate'
About Yourself:
I am 18 still living at home with my mum. One day i was with my dad and saw a really nice fish tank in a local garden centre, I brought it and filled it with fish. I am still at school. But will be leaving in a year or so.
Fish Kept:
I have 5 fish in total but i can keep upto Six. I have 2 comet goldfish at the moment, 1 oranda and 2 golden orfe. These are nice i called the two comet goldfish ellie and maddie the oranda pepto and the other two tom and jerry. There a good and cheeky names LOL. If i changed my tank from freshwater to tropical then i would be able to hold about 30-40 small to medium sized fish and 2-5 bigger fish.
Corals/Plants:
I have I have 1 golden coloured rock in it and 2 artificial rocks that have several artificial plants and 1 artificial plant that is standing alone.
Tank Size:
5 gallons
Advice:
Think about what you are going to put in the tank before you add the fish. Go to your local fisherie and ask the man behind th counter what he thinks, if you do this then the man you ask will give you great answer. He will probably know about fish and have a lot of experience. Good luck my fellow friends !!
