Fish Kept:
1 Male Betta, 2 Balloon Mollies, 2 Sunset Platies, 1 Hifin Pleco
Corals/Plants:
artificial plants, natural driftwood, natural rock
Tank Size:
10 gallons
Advice:
Don't be afraid to put a Betta with other fish, as long as they got enough space and don't have any big shiny fins that the Betta could mistake for a male of his own species. Also, making sure that the smaller community fish are in groups helps to avoid confrontations with the betta.

Fish Kept:
There are two larger Red Turquoise Discus and one new baby Brilliant Turquoise Discus. One Ornate Cory Cat and one Skunk Cory Cat (bottom feeders-great vacuum for discus!). Two Orange Bee Shrimp.
Corals/Plants:
There are many assortments of plants that I've tried to include in this tank. Amazon swords, Hornwort, Telanthera Rosefolia, Ludwigia Peruensis, and Wendtii Bronze are just a few. There are many more to come!
Tank Size:
45 gallons
Advice:
86ºF seems to work great with plants and Discus. Water changes should be done regularly. More often if you don't have sufficient filteration. Discus require a very clean environment. 10k Metal Halide lighting seems to work great for plants.

Take your time, the tank will take its. So no need to rush-the more thought out the better the result for your self and you Aquatic Life. Also watch and learn as much as you can, dont be afread to ask. Also dare to be different-try to do as much as you can yourself you get close to the hobby and you set a pace.

Own my own business. Sales agent for numerous Footwear Manufacturers and importers / distributors of Formal Fashion Comfort and safety
Always been interested in fish Find them very relaxing and therapeutic. Grew up in the ocean diving and surfing. Never got around to setting up a tank. Now I am 32 and it is time. Probably inspired by a mate of mines set up around 400Gallon Malawi Cichlid tank. Keen to hear anyones thoughts on my set up, LIKES DISLIKES SUGGESTIONS ect
Fish Kept:
Malawi Cichlids Mbunas 17 In total mixed
Corals/Plants:
A few plastic plants
Tank Size:
50 gallons
Advice:
New at this (First Tank) so STILL LEARNING - READ READ READ!!! ALSO Use sites such as this for info and tips on set ups ect VERY HELPFUL
Decide on the type of fish you want first then plan from there. Be patient with your set up. FILTRATION IS KEY and KNOW THE NITROGEN CYLCE Clean Decor and substrate thoroughly Choose the correct Fish not just anything in stock at the moment. It may be tedious to start BUT it will pay off long term (I hope)
