There will be a time when loud-mouthed, incompetent people seem to be getting the best of you. When that happens, you only have to be patient and wait for them to self destruct. It never fails.

About Yourself:

Fish Kept:
Its a new tank so at the moment its only home to three neon tetras and two molly fish
Corals/Plants:
6 plants all together, 4 different types.
Tank Size:
100 gallons
Advice:
First do some research on what kind of tank you would like to have, and then what fish would be suitable for your tank and which fish will be happy to live together.
The best way to find out is to ask in your local store, or a lot of basic facts can easily be found online.
Also you really dont need to spend a fortune, you can always buy tanks and equipment second hand.

About Yourself:
Single with 3 boys.
I thought (actually, my wife thought) a fish tank would be a great thing to have for our boys so we put one together Christmas Eve and told the boys we would all pick out a fish come New Year's.
I am totally into this! I already want a 55 gallon saltwater but I don't see that happening for many years. Plus, I have to see if the five starter fish do OK.
Fish Kept:
1 Large Danio (Big Bucky)
1 Purple Passion Danio (Lightning)
1 Non-Aggressive Orange Cichlid
3 Black Tetras
1 Red Tailed Shark (Inky)
Corals/Plants:
Driftwood (2 smaller pieces) rocks and plastic plants. I'll go live once the tank is acclimated. (I tried one live plant and it didn't survive so scratch that)
Tank Size:
20 gallons
Advice:
Go to a really really good Aquarium shop. I wasn't happy with the giant pet places. Try to find a "aquatic only" store or two. I love Aquarium Adventure here in the Cleveland area. The staff there has been super helpful with all of my questions as well as having just about everything for aquariums under the sun. I recommend getting all of your starter fish from the same place.

I'm not going to tell you to "stick with it" or say "don't give up" since that's what everyone on this site seems to write...so...my advice is "Stay away from the little bar in-between 17th and 18th on Chancellor Street.....it's not at all what it seems."

Live every day as if it were your last, because tomorrow it might be! :-)
About Yourself:
My husband actually got me into the hobby, he kept fish in college "back in the day" haha. He kept talking about it till it sparked my interest. Now I'm hooked, and I know more about it than he does! :-) Fish keeping/aquariums are relaxing, enjoyable and challenging, and I have found that fish really do have personalities. :-) I'm a stay at home mom and caretaker for my mother-in-law, so I really look forward to some quiet time with my fish. :-) Not to mention, a well maintained aquarium makes a house look twice as nice!
Fish Kept:
angelfish, harlequin rasboras, gouramis, tetras, hatchetfish, pleco, otocinclus cats, peppered corys, etc.
Corals/Plants:
several different types of live plants, not sure of all the names.
Tank Size:
75 gallons
Advice:
Make sure you know which fish are compatible with each other. Don't just go with what looks good.
Don't use fish to cycle your tank, no matter if they are "hardy" or not. Ammonia and nitrite, even at low levels, are very toxic to fish. It may not kill them immediately, but it does irreversible damage to their gills and membranes, and I'm sure it can't be very comfortable. Would you like to swim around in a swimming pool full of battery acid, even if it was just a "little bit"? Didn't think so! :-) Sure, cycling takes some time, but it's worth it to have healthy, happy fish in the long run. Patience is a virtue!! haha
Test your water fairly often, just to make sure everything is okay.
Make a maintenance schedule and keep up with it! Ammonia is one of the first things to look for when you start losing fish. Don't just blame the pet store for selling you sick fish! A good maintenance schedule will make your life (and your fish's) a lot easier in the long run.
If you're not going to be 100% into this hobby, then don't even get started. It takes time, patience, a lot of work and some money to keep fish/aquariums successfully. If you barely have time for everyday things, you probably don't have time for fish, which isn't fair to them. You're responsible for the environment they live in, so if you neglect the tank, they suffer. It's not just as easy as adding fish to water and hoping everything works out.
