Advice:
Although I am a "newbie" there is something I have learned along the weeks I have had my new tank. Don't mix tropical with community fish. They don't mix!!! I bought a redcap and he was very aggressive toward my other fish. I gave him to my local fish store for credit. Although I do have a parrot fish he seems friendly toward to the other fish.

About Yourself:
I'm only a beginner and have only been into fish for the past year or so. I originally started out with a small 21 litre orange "funky" tank, then I managed to comendire my dads fish, as he was keeping it in dreadful conditions.. and by this time my ish had grown a bit, so I thought I needed a bigger tank to allow for five goldfish to survive happily, because they were looking a little cramped. I then got a bigger tank, and fell in love with the little fat cute pearl scale fish they had on sale there as well, so I got two of those aswell *slaps wrist, bad me* and I got a few more snails aswell, hoping they don't breed too much. I always wanted a big tank, because when my dad gave a damn, he kept a big wall span tropical tank, which I used to love and watch for hours when I was younger, so I thought heh, why not? :) I can't wait to get my next tank for when i move out of my mums house. I'm unfortunatly leaving my coldwater tank behind because my mum likes it too much *rolls eyes* but that also means I can now start keeping tropical fishes and am really looking forward to it, as I'm gettin great advice from the staff at my local aquatic shop! :)
Fish Kept:
I'm not sure of the exact names of each, but a standard Goldfish thats gradually turning white (Named Bruce), a Shubunkin (Named Sheila), a yellowy goldfish (Named Flapjack), a white fish, with a bright red slat on its head (Named Tidgey), a beautiful black goldfish (Named Side-board) and two Pearl Scales called Marble and CheesePuff. (Don't ask about the names, by fiance and brother named them all) I also have six Golden Apple snails, three black, and three regular (Two have names - Brian and Grubby)
Corals/Plants:
I only have fake plants :( and no coral.
Tank Size:
25 gallons
Advice:
Not really as I'm new myself.. sorry :(

About Yourself:
people always want to know why i love goldfish so much when they are the dirtiest and the most incompatible, etc. but no matter what they always make me smile when i want to cry.
Fish Kept:
Goldfish (fancy and common), a butterfly koi (they are usually incompatible with fancy goldfish, but has not caused problems yet), a weather or dojo loach, and a medium plecostomus (i am aware that they are usually incompatible with goldfish, but i have never had problems with it.)
Corals/Plants:
my tropical fish tank has some plants i got from my sister, i dont know exactly what they are. the tropical tank is because of an angry sengel bichir that didn't get along with any other fish i had at the time (although i had kept one peacfully before), he now lives happily with two bolivian rams, a rainbow shark, a large chinese algae eater, and a lot of trapdoor snails.
Tank Size:
30 gallons
Advice:
research before you buy, and make sure of compatibility, possibly with people that have tried it before

About Yourself:
I JUST LOVE FISH!
The actual tank and cabinet, rocks and coral sand are approximately 5 years old. I've kept African Cichlids, South & Central American Cichlids, Fancy Goldfishes and the general Tropical Freshwater community fishes ever since I can remember. Its safe to say that if there's one type of fish community that appears to be relatively resistant to disease and can withstand less than perfect water conditions (except pH and hardness needs to be correct) it is African Cichlids.
I've never had any diseases affect my previous African Cichlids. Most of my fish have died because a particular fish was chasing and bullying it constantly. I had a small group of these fish before but unfortunately, they all fought with one another and eventually only two fish were left, a male and female Metriaclima lombardoi. I got sick of the prospect of looking at 2 fish in one big tank so I tried all sorts of fish (again!).
In the end, I decided to try African Cichlids again, this time with plenty of filtration, better care and management, more hiding places and overstocking. I plan to do 40-60% water changes every fortnight. If anyone can suggest a better regime, please let me know.
I've only had these fish for just over 2 weeks and they are doing exceptionally well. These fish are so active, so energetic, some mischevious and so entertaining. They constantly look hungry and desperate for food but the one thing I would definitely advise is to have one day without food and to not overfeed no matter how tempting it is and how hungry your fish appear to be.
The LFS told me to put around 22-34 fish in my size tank; suggesting to throw some Clown Loaches, Pakistani Loaches, Synodontis eupterus and golden Sucking Catfish in the mix. I decided to only go for the Clown Loaches and Synodontis ocellifer. I have 23 fish in all. As tempting as it was, I decided to not add any more fish - unless hyperdominance was to occur with one of the species.
Anyways, thank you very much for looking at my tank - I am very proud of it and hope to update it with better pictures. If anyone can suggest a way of capturing good pictures especially of the fish, please let me know.
God bless, take care of yourself(selves) and the best of luck with your fishkeeping!
Peace,Migs C
Fish Kept:
2 Melanochromis cyaneorhabdos (Maingano)
4 Metriaclima greshakei (albino strain)
2 Metriaclima callianos (Cobalt Blue Zebra)
2 Labidochromis caeruleus (Electric Yellow Lab)
2 Metriaclima lombardoi (Kennyi)
1 Pseudotropheus acei 'Ngara'
1 Pseudotropheus acei 'Msuli'
4 Botia macranthus (Clown Loach)
2 Labidochromis species 'Perlmutt'
2 Metriaclima zebra 'Puli Pt'
1 Synodontis ocellifer
Corals/Plants:
<p>Originally I had no plants. African Rift Valley lakes are, by nature, devoid of any aquatic vegetation except in minute patches where the lakes meet tributaries and streams. But I was advised to add some vegetation so I added some synthetic plants - the species replicates are Cryptocoryne wendtii, Hygrophila polysperma, Vallisneria biwaensis & Banana Lilly<p>
Tank Size:
69 gallons
Advice:
3 pointers from me:
Number 1: KNOW what you want and STICK TO IT till the end. There is always a temptation to add one more fish just to spoil yourself but in the end, if you let temptation take over you and fool you, you may never be fully satisfied. I learnt that the hard way and I hope you don't have to.
Number 2: Be MINDFUL OF THE FISH. When you feed your fish, clean their home, etc - think about what they are feeling. Sounds freakish I know but simply think about what implications your actions can produce on your fish alone not on you. If you feel that you are doing the right thing by them and for their benefit then it might be right thing to do after all. When in doubt, just consult a professional aquarist.
Number 3: Last but certainly not least is DON'T GIVE UP. Everyone says this all the time but from my perspective, if you really like something and have a passion for something, then I would advise on keeping at it no matter what failures and achievements result from your efforts. If you are persistant enough and enjoy the hobby then you really cannot go wrong. I hope you do not lose the passion or the love of fishkeeping because of all things, that is suppose to be the true driving force for you.
Description:
Fish that can be seen in this shot: (from top left anti-clockwise): Botia macranthus, Labidochromis species 'Perlmutt', Metriaclima lombardoi, albino Metriaclima greshakei, Labidochromis caeruleus, another Labidochromis species 'Perlmutt' and Metriaclima greshakei, Pseudotropheus acei 'Msuli' (dark blue fish) and last but not least, my Lucifer - the Synodontis ocellifer. I had to put the flash on so you can see Lucifer, because he would just blend with the brown hues of the mangrove root. I was initially wanting to capture Lucifer by himself, but the other fish were anxious in getting food so I basically took a few attempts until I finally got a shot where you can actually see him. I had to try different angles to make it perfect. I hope you all like the photo. Enjoy!
