One is never enough....
About Yourself:
I got into the hobby originally because my old man had an empty tank built into the wall when he bought this new house, which had a painting covering it up. I eventually convinced him it was a good idea to put some fish in it as long as i looked after it....
This wasn't too long ago - maybe November 2007 - since then i've swapped so many different fish with mate of mine, i cant keep up! But i think i've settled with these lil Fronts - good looking lil suckers =)
I have 2 tanks - the smaller 90ltr and a larger 150ltr (the one in the wall - although it LOOKS larger than 150ltrs when looking at the 90 next to it - although measurements and aquarium calculators tell me otherwise)
The larger tank houses 7x clown loaches, 1x Sailfin Pleco and 2x red devils - a male and a female =)
Fish Kept:
5x Burundi Frontosa
1x Sailfin Pleco
20-Odd Neon Tetras
Corals/Plants:
1x Fake coral rock in centre
4x Fake plants
Scattered large polished pebbles
Tank Size:
23 gallons
Advice:
Don't be lazy or impatient? I'm new too! -lol-

Advice:
i suggest that you should only get a tank if you are fully committed. Also when i started i had a very small 17l which was hard to keep because the water chemistry changed so quickly. i would say to start with a tank around the size of mine because it is easy to keep healthy.
