Fish Kept:
The tank currently has a few breeding pairs of convicts but Iplan to move my frontosa colony in to it soon
Corals/Plants:
The plants are all plastic. The rocks came from along side of the road on my way to work. The driftwood came from a local so cal beach after a big storm. The long pieces in the center tank are three feet long and 6 inchs in diameter.
Tank Size:
180 gallons
Advice:
If at first you don't suceed, try and try again. This is a hobby where trail and error is part of the learning process. There are also alot of resorces available on the internet so take a little time to do your research, but most importantly Have Fun!

About Yourself:
I have been in the hobby of aquariums and such my whole life so about 25 years. I used to work in a LFS and am very learned on the subject. I even make green water. ;-) I have had every major kind of tank and now just like to dabble it's funny I just purchased a brand spakin new 75 for my two feeder goldies. How bad is that? I have 8 tanks.
Fish Kept:

2 common goldfish
4 dojos

Tank Size:

Advice:

Description:
My wonderful common goldfish. I have them in a 75 Gallon with four dojo loaches. To regular dojos and 2 gold. The goldfish are about 3 years old. Once on the fourth of July the power went out here and it was over 100 dg according to the thermometer on the goldfish tank because the air conditioner was not working. So I got a straw and blew bubbles till I passed out in my room from 12-3 am and constantly got big bags of what ice was left over in the freezer and put them in the tank to do my best to save the goldfish. After the first day and night I went to buy a battery operated air pump and the rest survived. I lost 7 fish to that black out and 2 goldfish. These are the remaining two. And now they are nice happy and big! thanks

Advice:
start out with a small tank like a 10 or 20 gallon at first then work your way up and you must have a lot of time to set up and carfe for your fish you cant just set up a tank and go out and buy 20 fish right away they will all die.

Have fun! Don't be fooled about little baby pacu's in pet stores!! They grow REALLY fast and REALLY big requiring more than 100 gallons by the time they are full grown
Description:
This is Paco, my female red bellied pacu, carrying on her nightly laps in the tank. This picture makes her look small, but she's about 10-11 inches long. (Forgive the cloudiness, we're trying to resolve that at the moment)

About Yourself:
I live and work in Niagara Falls, Canada. My boyfriend and I have had this 30 gallon up for two years with an over hanging filter but had a lot of algae. We recently tested out this new system and saw great results within days. It wasn't too expensive and required just a little bit of pvc, an extra tank and some plexiglass. The pump was the most expensive thing. The whole thing might be overkill, but it's been way easier to maintain and it seems good practice for the salt water tank we hope to set up in the future.
Fish Kept:
I'm currently housing one Malawi cichlid (cobalt blue/female??) in a community and yes I know it's ill advised. She's grown to about 2 inches and the pack of 5 red minor tetras keeps her out of hiding and more active. I have a sixth tetra currently regrowing some fins in the reservoir. Other than her and two other initial losses, the fish seem to have found a balance.
We've just added three guppies and have had some hiccups there. Two seem quite happy there now, with 1 return to the pet store, and a beautiful teal recuperating in the refugium with the tetra.
Corals/Plants:
I also have some plants. A couple of wendtii, a cobomba, and one other of which I don't know the type. I'm hoping to add more in the future.
Tank Size:
30 gallons
Advice:
Look into sump filtration. It needs more space but it has sure been beneficial for me. Check out the L.A. fishguy on youtube for an interesting opinion on caring for fishtanks. ;)
Description:
I think this cobalt is female, but her name's Mario. All of the minors took a month to come into there full colour. Pet store fish look terrible....
