Fish Kept:
18 fish total, 9 cichlids, 2 corys, 1 pleco, 4 algae eaters, 2 rosy barbs. Also 3 prawn that managed to hide and grow big enough to fend off the fish. Cichlids are a mix, but they all have their own spot and get along. The largest, which is hiding in the back left corner, is a Jack Dempsey measuring about 8" long. The rosy barbs were doomed/moved to this tank while cleaning the small tank. They're not much bigger than some of the feeder fish we buy.
I probably breaking all the rules, but here are my cichlids (best guesses on some):
2 - Jack Dempseys (Jack & JJ)
1 - Yellow Lab (Stripe)
1 - Super VC10 (Spot)
1 - Hap Ahli (Ice)
1 - Tropheus duboisi (Ringo)
1 - Julidochromis marlieri Burundi (Grid)
1 - Blood Parrot (Bubbles)
1 - Hemichromis stellifer (Jewel)
(you guys name your fish, right?)
Corals/Plants:
none
Tank Size:
70 gallons
Advice:
Bigger tanks are easier.

About Yourself:
I got into fish when I met my fiance, who had a betta and a white cloud minnow in a little plastic tank. I had never been big into fish - although I had kept and bred a lot of reptiles - but I convinced him to set up a 10 gallon tank for them. 10 gallons turned into 100 gallons, and here I am today. My 29 gallon is *my* tank, though, and it's coming together. I love this hobby!
Fish Kept:
scarlet badis (dario dario), 2 black angelfish, otocinclus
Corals/Plants:
"Rose" sword, Red tiger lotus, Red lotus, Java moss, Blyxa japonica, Hemianthus micranthemoides, Anubias v. nana, Glossotigma
Tank Size:
29 gallons
Advice:
Don't cut corners if you want a real planted tank. Some parts of the tank are just going to cost money and time. The end result is definitely worth it, though.
