Whatsup!!!!!!! Jo Jo
About Yourself:
Scott and I are avid fish enthusiasts. We have 7 tanks all up. What should be our pride and joy however is still in the process of being repaired. A custom 6x2x2.5 foot tank the support bracing was not strong enough and was bowing out when completely full so at the moment it is half full and not looking good at present. It will be in time where we will keep our cichlids.
What started out as a second hand tank given to us 3 years ago has now taken over our life, our home and our wallet. As anyone knows who is addicted.
Fish Kept:
1 Blue Jahani, 2 Electric Yellows, 2 Lupias, 1 breeding pair of Transcriptus with approx 20 babies, 2 (soon to be more) Trophus Bemba, 1 Syondotus Eruptus, 2 Princess Daffodils, 2 Albino Algae Eaters, 1 male Bristle Nose, 1 Red Emperor, 1 unknown nickname is Blue Opaline.
Just about all the fish are either babies or Juvies and cant wait till they get bigger and their colors start to show more.
Corals/Plants:
mass of Java Moss and 2 Anubias attached to driftwood.
Tank Size:
45 gallons
Advice:
Change the water regularly, dont overfeed and enjoy
Description:
The Blue Jahanni is a camera hog everytime we took a pic he was in it. The rocks on the bottom where the transcriptus is, is where all the babies hide (really cute at feeding time). And the Sonadontus hides behind all the rocks at the back only popping his head out at night or when it is feeding. (PLEASE FORGIVE THE NAME BEING SPELT INCORRECTLY)

About Yourself:
Having fun is an important part of stress management.
Fish Kept:
African cichlids from lakes Malawi, Tanganyika, and Victoria. Mostly lake Malawi.
Corals/Plants:
Artificial Plants, Texas holy rocks
Tank Size:
65 gallons
Advice:
Feed your fish on time. Do the water changes when you are supposed. Clean the filter. The routine maintenance of aquariums is a must, and delays can cause your fish to suffer, or under extreme circumstances even to die. Avoid the costs of medications, additives, and replacing dead fish or plants, by keeping their habitat at optimal conditions.
If you find the routine maintenance of the tank too difficult or time consuming, then you should perhaps reconsider whether having fish is worth it to you.

About Yourself:
I'm a service rep for a large MROP distributor (basically a industrial supplier) here in Ohio. I'm 24 and enjoy my fish as one of my hobbies. I started with small tanks when I was just a child with my father helping. He was very big into fancy tailed guppies at the time. The hobby died out for me until recently I bought my first house and once again have a place to keep a tank. I enjoy smaller aquariums (under 70 gallons) that are well set up to larger in your face just because I can tanks. I really like my tank because I believe it is part of the room, and a very nice focal point when hanging out with friends.
Fish Kept:
Corals/Plants:
none
Tank Size:
48 gallons
Advice:
Take it slow, no one got there overnight. Next time you get laughed at for an oops, remember chances are we've allready done it, and got the same results.

Have lots of patience and research the type of fish you'd like to have. Buy the largest tank you can afford. The bigger the tank the easier it is to keep it clean. Don't ask Walmart or Petsmart for advice they don't know ssh** lol.

I am a 3D animator that has been an aquarist for about a year... I kept many terrariums in the past 2 years. I was into plants first and it led me from houseplants to keeping terrariums to creating aquariums and paludariums. I spend an average of 10 hours a week keeping up this tank. It is a great joy. Thank you for looking at it. It is an honor to have you view it.

17x Zebra Danios,
1x Opaline Gourami,
1x Gold Gourami,
2x Blue Gourami,
1x Unknown Gourami,
3x Cardinal tetra's,
2x Algae Eaters,

About Yourself:
I've always wanted a big tank. My wife came home one day and said that she got a deal on a 44 gallon tank and then it ended up in the middle of my living room. I then had to start this new project. It was new to me, but I definitely love the new hobby.
Fish Kept:
6 Tiger Barbs, 5 Zebra Danios, 2 Red Platies, 1 Topsail Platy, 2 Black Sailfin Mollies, 1 Plecostamus & 2 Golden Mystery Snails
Corals/Plants:
All plastic.
Tank Size:
44 gallons
Advice:
Take your time to pick out exactly what you want in your tank. Take the time to try new setups for all decorations and plants. Plan ahead so that you won't have to restart from the beginning. Cleall all decorations and accessories before adding in water. Last but not least, test all equipment before setting up and then plugging in.
