About Yourself:
39 years old. Banker, artist and software designer. I have been happiest when I have kept fish. My first fish was "Hugely" a goldfish won at a carnival.He lived in a 10 gallon tank for many years. I've had a lot of cichlids. I am partial to Green Terrors.
Fish Kept:
4 Monos, 2 White Tipped Shark Cats and a Green Scat.
Corals/Plants:
Plastic plants because it is brackish and my fish are known plant eaters.
Tank Size:
29 gallons
Advice:
Fish tanks are expensive and/or time consuming to set up, Once they are established, they take a small amount of consistent care.
Your fish depend on you. Be good to them and they will make you happy.
