About Yourself:
Started about 22 years ago with a 10 gallon tank and over the years I have moved up to a 55 gallon. Have always done freshwater but hope to someday do saltwater.
Fish Kept:
Fish include---5 neon tetras, 4 rose barbs, khuli loach, 5 gold barbs, platys, 4 comets.
Corals/Plants:
We recently changed over from gravel to sand and love the ease of cleaning. Plants are plastic. Logs are store bought and we have a few rocks scattered.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Read as much as you can. Most is done by trial and error. Do what you feel comfortable with. You can spend as little as you want or as much as you want. This is the perfect hobby for every lifestyle.

Tank Size:

Advice:
CLEAN Your Gravel, then clean it again!
Setup Plants before putting in water.
Hold you plants down but poking them through stocking or net, then cover with gravel.
Feature stones are easy to find for free - just look around outside!
Decide on STYLE of fish before buying - large fish eat neons!
Clean feature rocks first - avoid using sandstone - makes dusty water and can disitigrate in water over time.
Avoid fake anything!!! eg: Fake plants, fake ornaments, fake rocks, fake gravel - just looks cheap.
