About Yourself:
I grew up keeping goldfish in innappropriately filtered containers. Finally got a tropical kit a few years ago and have never looked back. Have done coldwater, tropical, planted and marine so far, only the Malawi cichlid side of things remains unconquered, but I've never really liked the look of them. Don't think I could squeeze another tank into this flat if I tried...
Fish Kept:
I did this bit!
Corals/Plants:
Many and varied. :D
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Save yourself and your fish a world of trouble and cycle your tank properly. Not with 'hardy fish', either. There's no excuse for using fish when you can do it perfectly easily without them (ie, ammonia, fishfood, etc). Buy a good master test kit and then USE it. At least weekly! And don't buy small tanks if you want to keep goldfish.

"Just Keep Swimming"
About Yourself:
Im a 15 year old female, and enjoy looking after animals. Fish happen to be my lastest animals to enter my room. Having them when I was younger as pets, I discovered that they well very boring. Now I am more mature, I view them as graceful addition to my busy lifestyle.
Fish Kept:
One Black Moore
One Lionhead
One Oranda
One loach
Corals/Plants:
I have choosen to use a variety of plastic plants, as these last longer, more suitable for my tank and fish, as well as easier to keep clean and keep fresh.
Tank Size:
17 gallons
Advice:
Look around for good prices, my set up cost me around £60 including my fish. Don't buy the first tank you see, look around at different sources.
