"There are several things wrong with your tank. First, it is completely unsuited for a fiddler crab. They need brackish water and more access to land than just a sad piece of styrofoam Second, the puffers are aggressive and should be in a puffer-only tank
About Yourself:
I'm trying to get a job right now. I used to be a teller for a bank. Now I'm looking for office work and customer service. I've been interested in aquatics for only a year or 2 but I've gotten into it very quickly. I've always been into botany so my current project tank is a 55G planted tank. I also have 10G planted tanks on both sides of my 55G. One is a "cleaning tank" which I throw algae-covered plants in for goldfish/snails to clean and the other is a nice community tank (overstocked and overfiltered)
Fish Kept:
Currently in my 55 gallon tank I only keep Angelfish, 2 freshwater pea puffers, candy tetras, a survivor guppy, a mother molly with a bunch of her baby mollies, a yo yo loach, a dojo loach, a freshwater flounder, a gold inca snail, a small trinidad pleco (relatively small), and a rubbernose pleco. I also have a fiddler crab that is incredibly wise and never climbs out of the tank but comes up to her styrafoam dock to max n relax...
Corals/Plants:
Decoration: Nice big peice of wood, Rocks from my backyard with patches of java-moss, live plants. Only non-natural decoration in tank is a styrafoam crab dock and a vase that holds a huge japanese mossball.
Plants: Amazon sword, anachris, dwarf onions, japanese moss ball, bamboo.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
ACTUALLY LISTEN TO PEOPLE'S ADVICE WHEN THEY TELL YOU TO BE PATIENT AND RESEARCH FIRST.
Also, I'd like to add, be very critical of fish. Don't think just because you like neon tetras that it's all you want. You'll see cardinal tetras and regret it... Also don't think about buying a few of everything you like because you'll wind up buying way too many different fish and that looks pretty unnatural. Natural looks beautiful.
Description:
Nice plant set-up (1 of many) I had goin in my tank. I took this picture shortly before "El Patron" aka "The Boss" died from internal infections (bloat) -- You can see he's the big angelfish kinda hiding in the back. RIP

About Yourself:
I'm just started this hobby 6 months ago. A friend of mine taught me the right way to kept the fish healthy and introduce me to some sifus that can help me setup this giant aquarium (i consider it as i am a newbie). I made a lot of research on how, tips, why, tricks & technique to make this hobby even exiting day by day. Along this learning process, i have killed a lot of fish (my bad.. :-() and now i have successfully setup a healthy & good community in my tanks.

Description:
This giant aquarium, i have spent a lot of money & time to it. i used 2 bags of white sand just to get reflection at the bottom of the tank from the lighting above. i used 2 sets of water filter to keep this tank clear. there is a lot of variety of fish, big & small, but some how i manage to keep them in harmony. I keep most of the plant at one side for the small fish to play around and hide and a bigger space at the other end for big fish play around. The red plant at the right side is some how become a U-trun for my fish to turn when they came to the tank's wall. I need to learn a lot on how to make my tank a heaven for my pets. Please leave comments and ideas on how to make my tank better. Thank you sifus.
