About Yourself:
I started when I was 12 after envying a tank at my library. I did the research and started with a ten gallon which ran successfully for a year until we moved. So far, it's been my healthiest tank, though I've gained so much more practical knowledge.
Fish Kept:
Over the years and in different tanks:
Tropical Freshwater: Platties, Swordtails, Neon Tetras, Corydoras, Clown Loach, Rosy Barbs, Chinese algea eater
Coldwater Freshwater: Goldfish (Commons, Orandas, Ryunkins, Lionheads, Comets, Fantails, Telescope Eyes, Pearlscales), Dojo loaches, Bristlenose pleco, White Cloud Mountain Minnows
Corals/Plants:
Java Ferns and Moss (easy!)
Amazon Sword
Ludwig
Wisteria
...and others I can't remember
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
RESEARCH! Make the Nitrogen Cycle an important part of this research, and don't skimp on the time it requires.
With goldfish, 10 gallons per fish is a good rule for those new to the hobby.

Its time to kick ass and chew bubble gum but im all out of gum
About Yourself:
To start I'm a fisherman. One day in college I thought, "Hey it would be cool to watch these guys in a tank!" But, if you know anything about walleye, they are not that pretty and prefer colder waters. So I got a tank and got some fishes that were more suited for aquarium life. To this day it has yet to stop entertaining me!
Fish Kept:
6 African Cichlids, 1 Pleco +12"
Corals/Plants:
All plastic... it's an aquarium not a garden
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Start with something easy then once you got the hang of it work your way up to more exotic fish. Don’t start with a 10 gallon unless you have to. Spend the more and invest in a bigger tank that will last longer. So then when you do understand how to run an aquarium you can get that cool exotic fish you saw in the pet shop.
P.S. Cleaning them sucks after while, but in the end you will have a much healthier tank
Description:
I have a lot of these ceramic pieces in my tank. I Think they look awesome and the fish seem to enjoy them.
