About Yourself:
First and foremost I'm a dedicated believer and follower of Jesus Christ. Beyond that I'm a Construction Worker by day and a Web Designer by night. After a long day of hard labor there is nothing more relaxing than planting myself in front of my aquarium and shedding the stress of the day.
Fish Kept:
I have 3 different varieties of Peacock Cichlids - 1 Red Zebra Cichlid - 1 Electric Blue Cichlid - 1 Green Terror Cichlid - 1 Electric Yellow Cichlid - 1 Big Lipped Cichlid - one Albino Cichlid and 3 Cichlids whos species origin is yet to be identified.
I also have one Dinosaur Birch who my Cichlids seem to leave alone and two very small plecostomus but one of them I'm growing for another tank tht is still cycling.
Corals/Plants:
A variety of different artificial plants.
I plan to gradually replace all of my artificial plants with live ones but seen as how this tank is only a few months old I havent gotton to that point yet.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
My advice to any beginner is to start small and aim big. A larger size tank can be quite a commitment. If a beginner jumps right into a larger size tank they can easily find themselves overwhelmed by the time and effort it takes to maintain a good healty environment for their fish to thrive.
Don't sweat loosing fish, it happens to all of us no matter what the experience level.
Most importantly have fun. It's just a hobby, if it gets too serious it's time to get out.

My name is Punk and Im a Big Lipped Cichlid. I got my name because I will punk you and have been the ill fate to many an unwanted rival so stay out of my way or else.

Advice:
Make your aquarium as automated as possible
Plan your tank for mature fish size. It may be exciting to see a lot of fish in your aquarium, but the personality they will reveal when not overcrowded is much more rewarding

Tiger Oscar, Albino Oscar, Peacock bass, Jaguar cichlids, Archers, and other cichlids, not all in the same tank. We have a 55 gallon full of non-aggressive fish also. Guppies, Barbs, Red-nosed rummy.

Our Oscars and Jaguar pull up any plants and destroy them. Most of our tanks have rocks or other things that are too heavy for them to destroy.

It starts off small, then you become addicted! Next thing you know your house is full of tanks.

About Yourself:
Got into fish as a little kid with a 10 gallon and gradually increased to 20 then 55 and now 125. Im aiming to have several large tanks in the near future.
Fish Kept:
South American and African Cichlids
Corals/Plants:
15-20 live plants currently but planning to add quite a few more.
Tank Size:
125 gallons
Advice:
Have good filtration and 10 hours of good powerful lighting. dont forget to add plenty of live plants to help the natural cycle and add some oxygen. I like buying the plant bulb packs for around 5 bucks you get 4-8 bulbs. they usually work pretty good.
