Freshwater fish love freshwater!
About Yourself:
I've loved fish and marine life for virtually all my life. I find the hobby very fun, relaxing and rewarding.
Fish Kept:
Two female bettas, one bolivian ram, 6 neon tetras, 4 otos, 5 yoyo loaches.
Corals/Plants:
Two types of amazon swords, micro swords, water wisteria, some crypt type plant, marimo moss ball, java fern/moss.

Advice:
Do A LOT of research before you get started. It'll make your life much easier because you will start things off the right way, save money, and enjoy what you're doing because you'll be doing it right. Learn what the nitrogen cycle is and most importantly DO WATER CHANGES!

Advice:
If you want a fish GO FOR IT! They are so amazing to have in your living space, and VERY inspirational and relaxing. You can design your tank to fit YOU!!
When picking out a tank don't fill it up with fish too quickly, pick out your fish slowly and make sure you don't put any specific breed of fish with others they wont get along with! Just basic aquarium knowledge really, and most of all ENJOY IT!!!!
Description:
Cowaco one of my fantails, by far the biggest.. but by far the biggest LOVE too. She models for me when I take pictures!!! She absolutely adores people, swimming right up to the tank when anyone is near.. But watch out shes got a far range of spitting water!!! :o)
