About Yourself:
I started as young child with a small ten gallon tank. Now I'm grown up and on my own. With a steady job I can afford a large tank that is pleasing to the eye.
Fish Kept:
two discus, an angel, 2 sepea tetra, 6 neon tetras, two rainbows, a pleco, 2 algea eaters, 2 gouramis, and 2 danison barbs.
Corals/Plants:
live plants
Tank Size:
46 gallons
Advice:
THe bigger the tank the easier it is. Actually spend the money on a good filter. It can make a world of difference.

Fish Kept:
Vieja argentea, Archocentrus octofasciatus (Jack Dempsey), and Crenicichla strigata (Striped Pike Cichlid)
Also: 2 x Platydoras costatus (Striped Raphael Catfish), 1 x Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps (Spotted Sailfin Pleco)
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Start with a bigger tank... It's much easier to control the water quality on a 40+ tank than it is on a smaller tank. In a small tank adding one fish too fast can spike the ammonia and nitrite levels enough to kill the others if you aren't careful...

Fish Kept:
18 fish total, 9 cichlids, 2 corys, 1 pleco, 4 algae eaters, 2 rosy barbs. Also 3 prawn that managed to hide and grow big enough to fend off the fish. Cichlids are a mix, but they all have their own spot and get along. The largest, which is hiding in the back left corner, is a Jack Dempsey measuring about 8" long. The rosy barbs were doomed/moved to this tank while cleaning the small tank. They're not much bigger than some of the feeder fish we buy.
I probably breaking all the rules, but here are my cichlids (best guesses on some):
2 - Jack Dempseys (Jack & JJ)
1 - Yellow Lab (Stripe)
1 - Super VC10 (Spot)
1 - Hap Ahli (Ice)
1 - Tropheus duboisi (Ringo)
1 - Julidochromis marlieri Burundi (Grid)
1 - Blood Parrot (Bubbles)
1 - Hemichromis stellifer (Jewel)
(you guys name your fish, right?)
Corals/Plants:
none
Tank Size:
70 gallons
Advice:
Bigger tanks are easier.

About Yourself:
I've had a fish tank since I was a kid. At 40 years old and successful, I am able to afford all of the more exotic wild-caught fish and goodies. I've been around the world and am multi-lingual. I have seen many beautiful aquariums and built this one the way I've always wanted it.
Fish Kept:
Neon Tetra, Black Neon Tetra, Black Skirt Tetra, Red Minor Serpae Tetra, Glowlight Tetra, Gold Pristella Tetra, Bleeding Heart Tetra, Head and Tail Light Tetra, True Rummynose Tetra, X-Ray Pristella Tetra, Red Eye Tetra, German Blue Ram, Marble Veil Angel, Altum Angel, Zebra Danio, Zebra Pleco, True (L-46), Panda Cory Cat, Peppered Cory Cat, False Julii Cory Cat
Corals/Plants:
lots and lots and lots of Plastics
(not very successful with live plants)
Tank Size:
135 gallons
Advice:
Start with the biggest and best you can afford. It will pay off in the long run. Spend time understanding H2O chemistry and read and learn about everything you're trying to accomplish before you try anything.

About Yourself:
When I was a kid I always had beta fish tanks. I bought my first 10 gallon freshwater tank when I was 18, then bought a 20 gallon about two years later. Recently I was given a 75 gallon and passed on the 20 gallon to my son. I often find myself transfixed upon the aquariums, they are a very useful destressor!
Fish Kept:
5 cichlids, 3 bala sharks, 2 plecos, 1 danio (survivor!), 1 pacu, and 1 gourami.
Corals/Plants:
plastic
Tank Size:
75 gallons
Advice:
Don't let your husbands buy red-bellied pacus!

About Yourself:
I used to live in California in the United States but I had to move to Galway in Ireland because of family business. I was forced to sell my 15 gallon fish tank with my beloved goldfish it was very sad as they were 10 years old. I bought a new 17 gallon tank here in Ireland with new goldfish and a algae eaters eater and im flying it!!!!!!! ITS A GREAT HOBBY!!!!!!!!
Fish Kept:
My fish are fairly simple to mind but I like them I have a variety of 6 goldfish, 3 white cloud moutain minnow, 2 plecostomuses, 1octomus (algae crew) and 3 weather loach.
Corals/Plants:
I have plants with some fake plants and river rocks at the bottom. I recently added bogwood in the centre for natural effect and the fish are thriveing in it .
Tank Size:
17 gallons
Advice:
Take your time to plan out what type of tank you want and the size. The fish should be evenly matched so one fish doesnt get all the food, get a good filtration pump so it minimizes cleaning also get an oxegen pump and lighting, but most of all have fun and enjoy being a fish keeper.
