About Yourself:
dad bought a tank (H:2ft W:40cm L:39cm) when i was born. 21 yrs later i had a kid so i restored it. figured the colours and movement would be good for her. 3 yrs later,im still loving it and have set a lifetime goal to having bred all species of freshwater fish and breed some unyet bred marines (but thats a long time away)
Fish Kept:
6x discus (2x white swanns, 1x hi fin hi body blue diamond 1x mixed breed 1x red melon 1x red malborough)
2x corydoras julii
1x upside down catfish
Corals/Plants:
amazon swords, anubias, blue stricta
Tank Size:
50 gallons
Advice:
dont just buy from a shop cause its cheap. normally cheap shops dont normally invest as much time as a specialist does maintaining thier tanks.....some do butttttttttttt most dont. specialists will normally let you test thier water if you ask, heck most will do it for you and give you the restults. buy from shops where the tanks are maintained daily and buy the healthiest looking fish, and if they all look crap.....kepp looking elsewhere.

About Yourself:
Physics major. I got into fishkeeping in 1994 with my first Shubunkin, kept in a fishbowl.
After a year i got a plexiglas aquarium (no filtration) and within days i decided to go in for a bigger plexiglas with filtration, aeration and heating.
Within a year i had upgraded to a 15-gallon glass tank, loaded with fancy goldfish (Orandas and Bubble-eyes).
I then swithced to Anabantidae. I succesfully kept Dwarf and Pearl Gouramis (Colisa Lalia and Trichogaster Leeri) for years.
In 2005 i got my present tank and have switched to keeping new-world cichlids exclusively ever since.
Fish Kept:
1 Glyptopericthys Joselimaianus (Leopard Pleco)
4 Thoricthys Meeki (Firemouth)
Corals/Plants:
No Corals or Live Plants
Tank Size:
36 gallons
Advice:
There is ONLY 1 way to success: AMMONIA CYCLING
