About Yourself:
I am a 38 year old mother of three, who thinks chihuahua's are better than teenagers. I love my fishtanks also.
Fish Kept:
55 Gallon Lake Malawi tank. I built the rock structure out of PVC pipe, rock, aquarium silicone, hot glue, gravel and plants. There is rock and gravel surrounding the structure, fading into white sand on the other side of the tank. The population consists of 1 Large male ice blue zebra, 3 females, 5 female bumblebee cichlid (we have a large male on his way in two weeks). There are also 2 upsidedown catfish, 3 various colored cory cats, 2 plecostemous, a chocolate, and a sailfinned marbled (one will go into the next tank, I got a great bargain on the chocolate recently), and two red clawed crabs.
I also have a 2.5 gallon tank at work. It runs a little whisper filter and has one male beta and three red glowfish.
Corals/Plants:
None, plastic or silk are great.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Research, plan, execute. I spent two months researching the fish I wanted to keep. Once I knew what I wanted to populate the tank with, what their requirements were and who they'd get along with I began planning the inside of the tank. I have slowly stocked my tank adding at most 4 fish at a time.

It's such a fine line between clever and stupid.
About Yourself:
Got into the hobby when my roomate in college got a tank. Been a while but I recently got back into it a few months ago and so far so good. Nothing better than getting home from work, lighting up and zoning out in front of the tank. Much better than TV if you ask me.
Fish Kept:
Mix of aggressive species, believe it or not it works out well if you provide a good balance of caves, crevices, territories, and open water. One of each – Labidochromis Caeruleus; Pseudotropheus Lombardoi; Botia Helodes; Synodontis Ocellifer; Ctenopoma Acutirostre; Leporinus Fasciatus; Epalzeorhynchos Frenatus; Anostomus Anostomus; Gyrinocheilus Aymonieri; Procambarus Alleni; Macrobrachium Amazonicum; and 5 Pomacea Bridgesii
Corals/Plants:
All fake plants, sometimes I'll throw in some live plants as a supplemental food source.
Tank Size:
60 gallons
Advice:
Never hurry any process or you're going to find yourself in a lot of trouble very quickly. Take as long to cycle as you can, and find out everything possible about the fish you want before you buy them to ensure compatibility. Don't skip water changes (even if the water looks clean) and test water quality often. Also make the effort to get a quarantine tank, you'll be amazed at how helpful it will be.
Description:
My aggressive buggers tank. Got 2 Mbuna Cichlids, Synodontis Catfish, Tiger Botia Loach, Banded Leporinus, Rainbow Shark, Spotted Climbing Perch, Striped Headstander, Chinese Algae Eater, Blue Crayfish, Amazon River Prawn, and 5 Mystery Snails in there. Sorry about the quality, took the pic. with my phone's camera.
