Quote: "No One Listens". "Now That's What I'm Talking About!"
About Yourself: School Teacher by day. Labrador mom evenings and weekends. Fish hobbyist when needed. Wife in between everything else.
Fish Kept: I have Tetras (6 Serpea, 3 Black Skirt and 3 White Skirt and 5 Von Rio) 4 Albino Cory Doras and 5 mystery snails. I plan on getting a few more. The bioload is offset by 20% water changes weekly with vacuuming. Use of a AquaTech 30-60 and a Marineland Penguin 350 w/ biowheel. One 200w marineland heater and 5" airstone. I test weekly and do a head count at each feeding.
Corals/Plants: The only things alive in my tank are the fish. Artificial Plants, Resin Driftwood and Loc Rocks. There are lots of places to hide. I have a small Terra Cotta bowl for the snails and Corys to feed from, too. However the Serpeas are very smart. They've figured out that when they see the tube for dropping the sinking food into the bowl, they come fast to get an extra meal.
Tank Size: 55 gallons
Advice: Always have an auxliary tank available. I brought home 6 Von Rio Tetras. They brought with them Ick. If it weren't for a little 10 gallon tank, they could have infected my entire community. Fortunately I got them quarantined, rose temp to 86 degrees and slowly added 1TBS salt per gallon. Ick was gone in 9 days. Always Quarantine!!!

About Yourself: Just turned 23 (august 2007). I have a small printing business which I run with a partner in San Diego, CA. This is where I keep my fish tank. Sometimes it's stressful at work, but the fish keep me calm. I love to be creative, and a fish tank really gives you the opportunity to do that. Someday I hope to build my own custom tank.
Fish Kept: African Cichlids: Albino, Labidochromis caeruleus, a convict, yellow labido, 2 dwarf puffers that crack me up
Corals/Plants: fake stuff
