A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three times before lying down.
About Yourself:
Started keeping fish in a 29G long tank my stepfather brought home one day. Never looked back. Spent quite a lot over the years, but it's been worth it to me.
Fish Kept:
30+Kribensis(20+ are 2 month old fry), 12 White cloud minnows, 12 Blue pearl Danios, 2 bettas(blue, regular species), 2 German Blue Rams Longtail, 1 10" Common Pleco
Corals/Plants:
Aponegeton(varied, mostly "fancy"), Blocca, Amazon Sword, Java Fern, Java Moss, Red Wendtii.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
When trying to grow plants BOTH the amount of light you have and the SPECTRUM of light you have ARE KEY!!!!!! Plants need light in the red spectrum to photosynthesize!!! As well your available light spectrum will have to be specific to your plants and fish! If you have a blue fish but very low blue light from your lights the fish won't shine it's brightest! Keep them fed well, (i feed once a day every morning when i turn on the lights). Filtration and water quality are very very very important! Relax, have patience, enjoy the tank. My tank is several years old and doesn't even look as good as I want it but you can't rush these things

About Yourself:
Someone at work wanted to get rid of his tank so I offered to take it over. From then I`m intrested in this new hobby. I`ve visits some sites to find out more about the fish and so on. The one thing i`ve find out is that my tank is to small for the amount of fish i got. I get a bigger tank(42) to split up the dollars from the rest. Any help and ideas will be appreciate.

About Yourself:
I love keeping fish, the best hobby I have ever had. I have had my 10 gallon tank since I was just a child, so for about 10 years now. Since it's been so long I recently decided to upgrade to a 37 Gallon tank, but I am building the stand myself so it won't be up and running for a while.
I am attending college right now and I am majoring in the field of broadcasting.
Fish Kept:
2 Female Bettas, 1 Tetra, 2 Ghost Shrimp, 1 Lace Cat, 1 Hatchet, and 1 Gold Algae Eater
Corals/Plants:
2 Live Plants, 1 Fake.
Tank Size:
10 gallons
Advice:
Read up on fish as much as you can before you buy them. This is a very rewarding hobby but it can have an unhappy ending for the fish that you use for trial and error.
