About Yourself:
I grew up keeping goldfish in innappropriately filtered containers. Finally got a tropical kit a few years ago and have never looked back. Have done coldwater, tropical, planted and marine so far, only the Malawi cichlid side of things remains unconquered, but I've never really liked the look of them. Don't think I could squeeze another tank into this flat if I tried...
Fish Kept:
I did this bit!
Corals/Plants:
Many and varied. :D
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Save yourself and your fish a world of trouble and cycle your tank properly. Not with 'hardy fish', either. There's no excuse for using fish when you can do it perfectly easily without them (ie, ammonia, fishfood, etc). Buy a good master test kit and then USE it. At least weekly! And don't buy small tanks if you want to keep goldfish.

Youll never no till u try.
About Yourself:
Ive been keeping fish for 13 years , have had several freshwater tanks and 2 saltwater tanks , out of about 40 fish ive had ive only lost 3 in 13 years , a stable enviroment and not making big changes all at once to a tank is the key, always overfiltrate if the box says the filter is good for 50 gallons and u have a 50 gallon tank buy 2 of them
Fish Kept:
In this tank I have a red tiger oscar and a cobalt blue , any petstore will tell you they cant live together peacefuly , but given the right conditions and the proper food requirements and adequate terrritories they will do fine , although I dont recomend mixing africans and south americans together untill u are educated in both.
Corals/Plants:
just fake plants in this tank
Tank Size:
30 gallons
Advice:
Take your time and let your newly decorated tank run on its own for at least 2 weeks , better yet a month before you introduce your first few fish , it will be well worth it in the long run. Cut the standard inch of fish per gallon rule in half and your fish wil be much happier and healthier do water changes every week 15% and dont be afraid to try new things slowly.only make one change at a time , fish need time to adjust to changes in there enviroment , keeep a steady temp. about 79 is good for almost every species.
And last but not least dont overfeed your fish some fish will eat until they expode , 2 or 3 times a day feed as much as they will eat in 3 minutes without excess faling to the gravel and offer a variety of food not just flake , try lettuce and peas oatmeal and a good pellet. And look closely at your fish everyday to spot signs of stress or disease , watch out for white spots on the fins this is very common in new tanks and new fishkeepers , but it is curable with proper treatment.

"Just Keep Swimming"
About Yourself:
Im a 15 year old female, and enjoy looking after animals. Fish happen to be my lastest animals to enter my room. Having them when I was younger as pets, I discovered that they well very boring. Now I am more mature, I view them as graceful addition to my busy lifestyle.
Fish Kept:
One Black Moore
One Lionhead
One Oranda
One loach
Corals/Plants:
I have choosen to use a variety of plastic plants, as these last longer, more suitable for my tank and fish, as well as easier to keep clean and keep fresh.
Tank Size:
17 gallons
Advice:
Look around for good prices, my set up cost me around £60 including my fish. Don't buy the first tank you see, look around at different sources.
