About Yourself:
Well, I got into this hobby thru my father approx 20 years back. He had a 6x1.5x1.5 feet tank in which he used to have an assortment of fishes. Over the years I have been inclined to move over to Cichlids and Arowana. Amongst Cichlids Oscar are very popular aquarium fish. These intelligent Cichlids are preferred by many aquarists because of their great individuality and character.
Fish Kept:
Oscars and Arowana
Corals/Plants:
None..... Only Stones and Gravel for the Oscar Tank and Silk Plants / Drift Wood / Gravel for the Arowana Tank
Tank Size:
260 gallons
Advice:
Keep as close to nature as possible

About Yourself:
Had fish years ago as a kid, now an adult I can better justify the expence. In six months I've gone from 1 5gal tank to this including three breeding tanks. O' what a twisted web we weave.......
Fish Kept:
‘Red Empress’ Protomelas taeniolatus
‘Pearl of Likoma’ Melanochromis joanjohnsonae
‘Blue Acara’ Aequidens pulcher (I know they have to go. But I started with these guys and well ...... )
‘Electric Yellow’ Labidochromis caeruleus
‘Common Bristlenose’ Ancistrus sp
‘Leopard Pleco’ Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps
Pseudotropheus Saulosi
Corals/Plants:
anubias alferi
anubias sp.
plus the large etch ... (this is going too).
Tank Size:
160 gallons
Advice:
Don't rush to add fish to your tank, make sure it is cycled properly. Buy as much filtration as you can afford. Buy only fish that a compatable with your tank and it's set up. Also only buy good, clean, colorful stock. A little bit of extra money here saves much disapointment later.

Keep your fridge stocked with beer, chocolate and cake. OK, so it's got nothing to do with fish, but its still good advice!!! You need to have something to do while your watching the tank!!!

About Yourself:
got into the hobby from my 2 year old son. we went to get him a betta and bowl, walked out with a 30 gallon and some tropicals. upgraded him to a 55, and bought myself a 75! It is so addicting.
Fish Kept:
cichlids, all malawi. mix of peacocks, haps, labs, mbuna. all range from 1" to about 4". There are 35 total. i think i have about outgrown the tank. a 130 gallon is next.
Corals/Plants:
have 10 live plants, and slowly adding more to replace the plastic ones to get the natural feel both for myself and the fish. they are a mix of plants from the plant store, which one day i will gather the ones that they don't eat.
Tank Size:
75 gallons
Advice:
if your going to get into the hobby, as some call it, be prepared with extra funds over your budget. there is tons that you won't realize you need until, you need it. give it your all, to get the most out of your fish, they should be healthy. they'll bemore active, colorful, and interact with you much differently when healthy. Last, do not take advice from people who work at the national chain petstores!!! Seek online forums and sites for more acurate information to your questions. My intro to fish was a 1o gallon and three oscars, which was advised by the 17 yr old worker at the pet store. big big mistake.

About Yourself:
Un aficionado a la naturaleza, me gustan todos los animales, tengo en la casa, peces, perros, gatos, escorpiones, cuyos, tarantulas gekos, me gusta salir al campo y ver los peces en su habitat, tener un poco de eso en la casa y poder disfrutarlos y aprender, es invaluable
Fish Kept:
7 - Cyrtocara moorii: Regalo de un buen amigo, tienen conmigo algo así como unos 8 meses
5 - Cichlasoma salvini: Eran 7 pero el mas grande y colorido, una noche de tragedia, salto justamente por el único pequeños espacio entre el filtro y la tapa donde cabia, y lo encontré ya muy tarde y el otro, no soporto bien el translado y murió a los pocos días de integrado al acuario
1 - Yasuhikotakia modesta: esta tiene conmigo los tres años que llevo en el acuarismo, y soporto muy malos tratos, la compre porque el de la tienda de peces me la vendió como pez sumamente exótico y me bajo algo así como 200 pesos por ella, hoy en día por lo que ha pasado conmigo no tiene precio, soporto también el salto bungee, y por las condiciones en las que la encontré, ya tenia mucho tiempo fuera del agua, pues, perdió la mitad de la cola por que se le seco, y la piel la tenia totalmente seca, hoy ya esta totalmente regenerada su cola, y es feliz y sana, ella vive en una cascara de coco que yo le fabrique con un pulidor de metal, pero cometí un error al manipular el pulidor y momentos después estaba en el hospital con 3 puntos de sutura en mi dedo gordo de la mano derecha, lugar donde aun hasta el día de hoy tengo la cicatriz, pero valio la pena, ella solo abandona su coco para comer y dar paseos cortos en el crepúsculo, esta cascara de coco aun esta con ella, en este acuario como lo estuvo en el 60 litros de acuarama.
1 - Platydoras costatus: Este gato también tiene conmigo desde que inicie en el hobby, lo compre de unos 3 centímetros y hoy debe rondar los 10, también fue mi primer pez enfermo, por el que tuve que comprar un acuario enfermería por primera vez
2 - Agamyxis pectinifrons: sobrevivientes de mis inicios, los compre muy pequeños y hoy deben medir los 8 centimetros
Corals/Plants:
Plantas artificiales de diferentes marcas
Una raíz africana de unos 5 a 7 kilos
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Contrario a lo que todos los nuevos acuaristas creen, siempre es mas facil mantener un acuario grande que uno pequeño, entre mas grande mejor.

About Yourself:
I got into the hobby accidently. Almost 1yr ago I helped my friends brother move and his recent x-girlfriend pawned off a full setup on me and my girlfriend (now wife, yikes). I thought dang i dont kno anything about this. So I started surfing the net, got hooked and the rest is history. And yes, I watch my tank more than tv and my wife does get a little jealous, but she loves 'em too.

Advice:
Without a solid understanding and active respect for the "nitrogen cycle" your fish will die. Don't throw away your money, effort, and emotions. However you don't need to be a chemist, biologist, let alone zoologist to be a good aquarium keeper. If you teach yourself the foundational basics you will create amazing tanks and enjoy keeping fish for many years to come.

About Yourself:
My parents always kept tropical fish when i was little so i got my own tank when i moved out. I started off with a very small tank and worked my way up. I really enjoy keeping my tank and fish healthy.
Fish Kept:
I have 3 silver dollars 1 marble angel fish 2 kissing gourami 1 dwarf gourami (cherry) 2 three spot gourami 9 glow light tetra 3 cat fish 1 common pleco (small at the minute) and 2 sucking loach.
Corals/Plants:
I have lots of java fern the only thing that my silver dollars dont try to eat. I also have Anubias & water primrose both of which my dollars love to eat. The rest of my tank is planted with some plastic plants which do the job. I have just got myself some moss balls for the tank which are ment to help reduce alge growth and they look unusual too.
Tank Size:
40 gallons
Advice:
Just keep trying. And remember water changes are the most important part of a healthy tank do them regular!
