Keeping it all natural.
About Yourself:
I work shift work at a refinery. The fish are relaxing to watch and enjoy after the work day is done.
Fish Kept:
25 male only african cichlids (mbunas & peacocks), 1 convict (south american), 2 catfish, 2 clown loach.
Corals/Plants:
All Live; Anubius, sword, java fern and one other?
Tank Size:
90 gallons
Advice:
Try not to buy entire put together kits when buying an aquarium as the componets are generally poor quality. Buy your tank separtely and upgrade in better equipment.
When going with african cichlids purchase your peacock cichlids, cats & algae eaters first and later after a couple months add your more aggresive mbuna. The mbuna may not attack the established fish in your tank but they will be very aggressive or kill new fish. Learned the hard way.

About Yourself:
22 years old, started when I was 10 years old. I had a couple of tanks that failed because I had no idea what I was doing. Since started up again like a year and half ago, its been going great. Still learning, I don't think I will ever know it all.
Fish Kept:
1) clown angelfish, 1) upside down catfish, 2) peaceful african cichlids, 4) platties, 1) bronze cory, 1) spotted cory, 1) albino cory, 1) scum sucker "algae eater" , 1) blue gourami
Corals/Plants:
All plastic
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Bigger the tank, the easier it is to maintain. (if you don't over stock) The filter reads 40 gallon. It's really only good for 20 gallons.
Description:
Clown Angelfish, the strips that are a little dark.some times become very dark and other times they are completely gone.

Fish Kept:
2 Neon Blue Dwarf Gouramis, 3 Pink Glo-Fish, 1 Bala Shark, 1 Blood Red Parrot, 1 Plecostomus (aka. Plecosaurusrex), 1 Swartz's Corydoras Cat, 1 Pictus Cat, 2 Bamboo Shrimp, 1 Marble Angel Fish and 1 Silver Veil Angel Fish.
Corals/Plants:
Various types of resin ornaments and rocks
Tank Size:
75 gallons
Advice:
New tanks, specially the larger sizes take time and leave more room for error. Go to your local fish store and ask questions before you buy, I recommend a local "Mom and Pop" store, not a big chain store that rotate staff faster then the stock in their tanks. Get advise from the "professionals" and follow it. Most of all, have patience, patience, patience, patience, patience, and more patience.
