Tank Size:

Advice:
Cycle your tank befor adding fish, and always make sure the fish you are getting are compatible. About 1 inch of fish will occupy 1 gallon of your tank. Over stocking is fine in a community tank, but in a planted tank it is better to use less fish due to the room that the plants need. Feed your fish as much as they can consume in 2 minnuts and when adding new plant be sure to make sure your tank reaches their requirments for lighting and nutrients. As far as I would think choosing a planted tank over a freshwater is a better but more pricey choice, one thing it makes the tank look more natural and most community fish would like that, and as long as you keep all the dead plnat leaves out of the tank your water quality will become better. Choose what you want carefully, because if you get stuff that you dont really like, it's just a waste of money. Good luck to all the hobbyists and have fun!

plastic plants at the moment, i find its too expensive to keep real plants in my tank because my fish love organic matter.

`research which types of fish go well together

` and never buy fish from tanks which have dead ones in them

About Yourself:
Well I moved from South Carolina and I couldn't have piranha down south so. When I moved here I knew that I could so I just jump right on it and went all out. Went to Knoxville, Tenn and paid 150.00 for 10 piranha's. And as of 6/15/2007 they just turn a year old. And my occupation I work as a night manager at walmart its just great. So to all they are not bad fish. The tank is really clean all the time even doe i feed them goldfish, chicken wings, mice and fish pellets.
Fish Kept:
1 big fat Pacu and 10 Piranhas a black knife fish that hides all the time.
Corals/Plants:
4 plastic hanging plants and 2 long vine plants
Tank Size:
120 gallons
Advice:
Fish are like dogs and cats u just cant take them out for walks but u can train them and love them. So get fish that u can really keep and not just get them and when they get to big let them go in the river, pond, or lake etc.
Description:
I have a 120 gal tank and i have 10 Piranhas and 1 pacu living in it. I have 2 emperors 400 and a 150 wet/dry keeping it clean and healthy. I got a 300 watt heater keeping it nice and warm. One 48in light bulb and housing. A 900 gph power head keeping the water moving. Two 15lb bags of rocks on the bottom of the tank, 4 plastic hanging plants. Four plastic tree trunks for hiding.
