Might be the land of 10,000 lakes but I have the best ones in my living room.. ;)
About Yourself:
complete geek.. nonetheless, I have always enjoyed aquariums, and find them more interesting than watching T.V.. lol :)
Looking forward to sharing the forum, and learning as much as I can about my own tank, and the *many other choices to come.
Greetings to everyone, and Best of luck with all your tanks..
Cheers.
Fish Kept:
Clown Loach, Guarami's, Molly's, Plecos, Snail, Shrimp, Tetra's, & that's it for now.. by far my favorite to watch are the Guarami's and Clown's... they are *really entertaining. :)
The Molley's ect. are more for color/decoration.
and of course, the Pleco, Shrimp, and Snail as well,
but they are all Great to watch. :)
Corals/Plants:
Live Bamboo's.. for now that is all (live) I plan on replacing the several "plastics" asap with all live ones. :) a must imo.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
TAAAKE YOOOUR TIIIME. . I know it can be hard to pass up a beautiful, or fun looking fish at the fish store.. believe me.. but, it will only make it harder to learn (and there IS a LOT of information that is available, that will ultimatley make/keep your FISH, and you HAPPY. :) set up the tank, exactly with whatever you want it to accommodate. enjoy the process! look around for ideas, info, whats best for the fish you PLAN on keeping.. yes, dont just "add them".. no matter how much they attract You. ;) .. you want a *Healthy, comfortable, and Happy* Aquarium for All your fish to live in.. research EACH fish Before you get them, if you see one @ a shop, write it down, and come back after visiting for info.. you'd be surprised by some of them, and much wiser for it. Learn the Basics/Setup, The Fish(you should already have in mind), and also the "maintenance" required.. get it all together, and even create a seperate "safe tank" for any future problems to hold any troubled fish in while you investigate/possibly save your entire tank.. **especially** be diligent on "introducing" new fish... can't "stress" this enough.. it's easy, but take the time to do it best. Plan ahead, and read up, get books, visit here.
Description:
55Gal tank, 3 clowns, 4 Gourami's, pleco, catfish, and shrimp, 3 molly's, & 3 Platty's.
The orange meets the clown loaches natural habitate (so ive read), and is divised form the use of "Natural Rock" colors .. and 4 medium size pieces of Driftwood (helping the Ph as well), all the fish seem VERY happy, the Loaches even "Dance" on occassion, mostly in the morning when i first go to turn the lights on, i have to sneak up and look in i can usually see them "Falling" together.. quite a site. :)

Who needs a tv, when you have fish to watch
About Yourself:
I first got into keeping tropical fish when I was seven, after my dad keeping fish for 25 years. Over the following five years, I read up on breeding various tropical fish, the requirements, setups, and all the nessacery stuff. By the age of 13, i had a small breeding setup in my bedroom, consisting of 1 3ft community tank and 6 2ft breeding tanks, containing sterbai corys, koi angelfish, albino bristlenose cats, farowellas, kribensis and cockatoo cichlids (double reds). Over the past 10 years I have extended my range of knowledge as well as tanks and breeding setups. I currently have 2 3ft community tanks, 8 2ft breeding tanks and 8 18" cube breeding tanks. I currently breed as a hobby breeder and sell some fish onto other hobbyists at my local club as well as in my community. It has been very successful and is such an exciting hobby that my 2 1/2 year old son already has his own tank and feeds his own fish and helps me with the setups of new tanks.
Fish Kept:
Tetras, Livebearers, cichlids, catfish, bettas, danios, rasboras, sharks, neon dwarf rainbows. also have species tank with Phallictyths Quadripunctatus (rare livebearer). wild caught and koi angelfish.
Corals/Plants:
Only use java moss when breeding sometimes, prefer to use spawning mops
Tank Size:
43 gallons
Advice:
Read up on the hobby before you think of keeping tropical fish. Its not just adding water, filtration and a heater to a tank, then adding fish. Many of the new hobbyists that ask me for info on the hobby dont realise the amount of work required in keeping fish. You need to think about cycling the tank, compatible fish and being able to treat any diseases with the right medication you may encounter, and also being able to carry out the required maintenance.
Description:
My 2nd 3ft Community Tank (new). Home to my baby angelfish, breeding trio of praecox rainbows, breeding trio of bronze corys, 5 baby bristlenose cats, Breeding pair of Phalicthytus quadripunctatus and a 2" striped raphael catfish.
