Advice:
Try to keep fish that get on in a community tank, Angel fish and Tetras need to be kept in shoals as otherwise they can be aggressive to other fish, tetras especially if you have long tailed varieties such as fighting fish.

This is Paco, my female red bellied pacu, carrying on her nightly laps in the tank. This picture makes her look small, but she's about 10-11 inches long. (Forgive the cloudiness, we're trying to resolve that at the moment)

About Yourself:
My husband and I have just gotten into keeping fish. I was against it at first and now the tables have turned. After getting the tank as a present, he has decided he doesn't really want to care for it. I have taken over and LOVE it. I'm anxious to learn more and to upgrade to HUGE tank after we move cause 55 gallions wont hold my three frontosa for long! :) Our 3 year old daughter loves looking at it and watching me feed the little guys. She's so obsessed I swear she'll become a marine biologist when she grows up. :)
Fish Kept:
1 6" fuellborni OB, 3 Frontosa (1 is like 8" and the other two are like 3"), 2 electric blues, 2 blood parrots, 1 acei, 1 kenyi, 1 yellow peacock, 2 common plecos, 1 albino sailfin pleco, 1 6" blue night lobster, and a few other randon malawaian cichlids.....
Corals/Plants:
all artificial plants for now.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
DO YOUR RESEARCH!!!!! Got 29 gallon for husband as a present a few months ago, and it wound up being my obsession and he never touches it. :)

our big frontosa, named BuhBuh, has not developed forehead hump yet - has lots of growing to do...
