About Yourself:
I have been a fish keeper for more than 4 years now. I am pretty much addicted at this point. I plan to work at Petsmart when I get my license, and work in the Aquarium department.
Fish Kept:
Right now I have a Goldfish named Spicoli, he is 4 years old and 4", and also needs to be re-homed. Also I have 7 baby bluegill. They are doing great in my tank, and even eating Omega One Flakes. I do about 10% weekly or even more to keep the tank healthy since it is really overstocked right now. But when all these are gone I'm just gonna go with one Sailfin Molly or something.
Corals/Plants:
No Plants Right Now.
Tank Size:
10 gallons
Advice:
Research Research Research! I have learned so much in the past 6 months about aquariums it's not even funny. If you want a healthy and clean tank do your research!

Corals/Plants:
Tank Size:

Advice:
keep it simple, keep it clean, and keep it under-populated. a busy tank is fun to watch, but only when your not elbow deep vacuuming it due to the additional waste. if you set it up right you can maintain a wonderful balance and only clean the tank filter once every several months, and rarely need to clean the gravel.

About Yourself:
dad bought a tank (H:2ft W:40cm L:39cm) when i was born. 21 yrs later i had a kid so i restored it. figured the colours and movement would be good for her. 3 yrs later,im still loving it and have set a lifetime goal to having bred all species of freshwater fish and breed some unyet bred marines (but thats a long time away)
Fish Kept:
6x discus (2x white swanns, 1x hi fin hi body blue diamond 1x mixed breed 1x red melon 1x red malborough)
2x corydoras julii
1x upside down catfish
Corals/Plants:
amazon swords, anubias, blue stricta
Tank Size:
50 gallons
Advice:
dont just buy from a shop cause its cheap. normally cheap shops dont normally invest as much time as a specialist does maintaining thier tanks.....some do butttttttttttt most dont. specialists will normally let you test thier water if you ask, heck most will do it for you and give you the restults. buy from shops where the tanks are maintained daily and buy the healthiest looking fish, and if they all look crap.....kepp looking elsewhere.
