About Yourself:
26 year old bartender at applebees i started with a 10 gallon and immediatly got hooked. I live on the third floor at my apartment complex, so i must wait untill i get a 75 gallon salt water tank of my dreams.
Fish Kept:
5 tiger barbs, 2 ruby barbs, 3 albino barbs, 2 kissing gouramis, one powder blue dwarf gourami, 2 chinese alge eaters, and one african dwarf frog
Corals/Plants:
an Aponogeton, 3 amazon sword leaf, an umbrella plant, and a few fake plants
Tank Size:
26 gallons
Advice:
Ive found a large amount of real plants keep fish happy and lower nitrate levels. Growing plants from seeds is a fun way to add some beauty your tank, but it is also hard to grow seeds if the fish pick at the seedlings and your bottom feeders uproot the seeds.

About Yourself:
Been in the hobby off and on over 35 years.
Recently been breeding gold angelfish and these long finned albino bristlenose.
Fish Kept:
Long finned albino bristlenose (2 males, 3 females and offspring).
3 Panda corydoras.
22 kuhlii loaches.
1 golden eel loach (hides in the gravel).
Red cherry shrimps.
North Australian chameleon shrimps.
Numerous baby blonde guppiies (temporary only).
Corals/Plants:
Low light plants:
Crypts,
Pink baby tears,
Aponogeton,
African water fern,
Red tiger lotus,
Anubias,
Ludwigia repens,
Java moss.
Tank Size:
60 gallons
Advice:
Consider using rain water. No chemical treatment required and ideal for plants and fish suited to soft water.
Our collected rainwater has a PH of 5.0, but fortunately this is being naturally buffered to 7.0 by the large pink rocks seen in the aqurium.
Try to understock the aquarium.
Some plants were planted in shallow plastic dishes containing organic fertiliser covered with sand and gravel.
