"There's a fine line between clever and stupid"
About Yourself:
I had a severe phobia of fish since I was 10 years old, and a peacock eel jumped out of a tank and onto me. It scared me to death! I couldn't even walk through the fish section at a pet store without having a panic attack! Last year I took my kids to the public aquarium (after much begging and crying) and thought to myself I would just walk in the middle and not pay too much attention. I was terrified. But by the end of the day, I was fascinated! I wasn't scared anymore, and a couple months later, I set up my first tank, a 10 gallon, which I still have and all the fish are happy and healthy. Now I'm not scared at all, (at first I was still a little leery) and I'll even feed my mollies right from my fingers. It's so cool!
Fish Kept:
1 gold gourami
1 pearl gouram
1 angelfish
3 pictus catfish
3 zebra danio
3 female bettas
Corals/Plants:
none
Tank Size:
29 gallons
Advice:
Take it slow! Be sure to cycle your tank, and keep up maintenance. Water changes are important even if your water looks wonderful. Make sure your fish are compatible, and have room to grow. Most of all, have fun!

About Yourself:
I mainly got the tank to have something soothing in the house, but also because I have a 1 1/2 year old. I am hoping this will keep him entertained occasionally.
Fish Kept:
4 Brilliant Rasboras, 2 Silvertip Tetra, 4 Zebra Danio, 1 Sunburst Mickey Mouse Platy, 2 Spotted Cory Cats, 1 upside down catfish, 5 neon tetras, and 2 ghost catfish. I am planning on adding a few more small fish in the near future, a few at a time.
Corals/Plants:
I do not have live plants, but the artificial ones are hygrophilia, moneywort, breeding grass, hair grass, corkscrew val., and amazon swordplant. Mainly I picked them because they looked nice in the tank, but I have no idea if they are appropriate for the type of fish.
Tank Size:
55 gallons

About Yourself:
I manage a Victorian antique store and am planning to go back into business for myself doing what I love and that is setting up and maintaining fish tanks. My love of keeping fish was instilled in me by my Mom who used to keep 3 tanks of different fish when I was just 3 years old. She stopped but as you can see I never have and never will.
Fish Kept:
Lake Malawi A.S.A.P.
Corals/Plants:
None
Tank Size:
50 gallons
Advice:
I am just setting up this tank after an almost 7 year hiatus. I owned my own company for 3 years setting up and maintaining fish tanks.. The tank you see above was just set up an hour ago. Thats why it's cloudy. My only advice is stay on top of your water changes and take time each day to sit admire and observe. Not only is it enjoyable but it helps you become in tune with your tank and you will be on top of any problem that occurs.
