About Yourself:
my husband bought the fish tank and I took over form there. I'm very new to it, but I love it!
Fish Kept:
I have too much fish in a 29 gallon. I'm collecting different species of Tetras, so they need to be in at least 6 or more. I'm gonna get rid of some of the fishes. Hopefully I can find somebody to take them. So far, I have
Glowfish Tetras
Red Head & Tail Lights Tetras
Black Tetras
Serpae Tetras
Neon Tetras
Rosy Fin Tetras
pleco
orange tail guppy
blue tail guppy
white molly
orange algae cleaner
chinese algae cleaner
albino algae cleaner
upside down catfish
I don't recommend keeping this much at all..but they are doing really good.
Corals/Plants:
I have all fake plants. I picked The Imagine Blossoms Collection. The flowery colors brings out the colors of the fish. I have 2 rocks with holes and a driftwood to make it look natural. I picked a skulls theme, so I have a bunch of skulls..so it don't look too feminine with all the flowers!
Tank Size:
29 gallons
Advice:
I currently have so much fishes in my tank. it's overcrowding but they are doing fine. i do a 40% water changes weekly and I use the Tetra aquasafe and tetra Easy Balance. I also recommend API Milafix Antibacterial Fish Remedy everytime I introduce new fish. I change the filter once a month.

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.
