Neons are way sturdier than what people generally claims.
About Yourself:
This is my 1st fish tank in more than 20 years (every kid had their goldfish in the '80s yknow!) and I intended to do things the right way with this one. I always liked fish, and I realize how much I missed looking at them swim around gracefully. So far so good, I'm hooked!
Fish Kept:
- 1 doubletail betta (he's blue and red with transparent fins and a brown face)
- 6 neon tetras
Corals/Plants:
Theres 4 different types of plants in my tank, I don't remember the names though... and yes, that bright pink plant is real! I squeezed fake plants btw my tank and the wall to hide the wires and create a background, the result is nicer IMO than all the ugly wallpapers they sells in petstores.
Tank Size:
5 gallons
Advice:
I'm a new hobbyist myself, I have this tank since 2 months only! All I'd say for now is:
Try stuff, get some info, use common sense and have fun!

About Yourself:
Hi, I love fish it's what I do. I try to keep them in there natural habitat but that's hard some times and I don't believe in water changes as a cleaning method, they are only to replace trace minerals not get ride off wast that's what the filter and plants are for. but if you don't take my word for it just look at my tanks and tell me how they work.
Fish Kept:
Discus, Bichirs and small ones but more to come
Corals/Plants:
all kinds of plants that live in the low light set ups for now
Tank Size:
40 gallons
Advice:
Don't listen to the pet shops they now what sells and not much more if you want the truth try the internet...

About Yourself:
I had a fish tank when I was a wee child but left the heater on overnight and killed all my fish. I was devastated. My hubby and I after raising our daughter decided to adopt two older siblings. To help teach them about responsibility my son got a betta to care for (and my daughter a parakeet). I fell in love with this hobby!! A neighbor was moving and had a 55 gal with stand and all equipment and wanted to give it away. No one else wanted it so I thought sure I'll try it with a big tank! We all LOVE it! It is so peaceful to come home to or when one is not feeling well to just sit and watch the fish. I work as a medical social worker for oncology which can be emotionally draining and so I really enjoy the calmness of the tank. We have also really enjoyed raising fry when we can. The on swordfish I have in my 55 is one of our babies. They didn't usually live in tank as my angel (who has passed on) used to eat them and I think the gourami did too. The kribs are awesome parents and have been fun to watch them protect the fry even with the divider in the tank!
Fish Kept:
In my 15 tall at work, I have 8 neon tetras, one angel, 2 cories, 2 dwarf pleco. In my 55 I have my surviving male krib, 1 angel, 3 cories, 3 otos, 9 black neons, 3 rasboras, 7 bloodfin tetras, 3 bosemani rainbows, 3 hatchets. I have no fish in my 90 yet as it is a project which I was turned on to looking at your site one day and the African cichlid tanks were #1, and #4. Cool fish! I have just finished my BG and installed 90% in my 90 so we are getting closer. I also have an 18 tall with about 30 baby kribs in it.
Corals/Plants:
My 55 is now a planted tank -see description, my 15 and 18 just have plastic plants in them. My 90 will have real plants too.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Research, research and research some more as I have know way too many people who mix the wrong fish together or don't cycle their tanks and wonder why all their fish died...
