About Yourself:
Been in the hobby 4 years now, didn't know what I was getting into but even after 4 years its still as if i just started last week.
Fish Kept:
Discus-1 White Face Orange Melon, 1 Blue Diamond, 2 Fire Dragons, 1 white face Orange Panda, 1 Rose Red, 2 leopards and 1 Pigeon Blood. Other-1 Albino Bushynose Pleco, 2 Bolivian Rams,1 German Blue Ram, 2 siamese algae eaters, and 2 flying foxes.
Corals/Plants:
None. Driftwood Only
Tank Size:
70 gallons
Advice:
IF YOU CANT AFFORD IT, DONT START IT! This hobby gets VERY expensive! Dont be scared of discus, there are ALOT of myths out there about "Low PH" and "very soft water". From my experience discus will thrive in a WIDE range of perimeters as long as the tank is super clean and you stay consistant with water changes with a steady PH.

It's a hobby....not an addiction!
About Yourself:
30 plus years ago when I first started, there were not sumps. It was all about water changes and undergravel filters. Today with improved filtration it has made the hobby so much easier to keep fish longterm. We started with a 20 gallon, and my wife got on board (amen) and now we currently have the first 20, a 55 gallon featherfin tank, the 100 gallon mixed cichlid. And for Christmas we are setting up the 300 gallon Tanganyikan tank. We'll add pics of that later!!!!
Fish Kept:
Currently stocked with both Malawi and Tanganyikan Cichlids Juveniles. We are in the process of setting up a 300 gallon Tanganyikan tank and plan to split them as soon as we can. Though in the wild, these fish would no be found together they also wouldn't be found with a heater, plastic plants and food everyday! Remember, this is a hobby. We are doing the best we can to replicate the wild but there is no substitute for the wild.
Corals/Plants:
none
Tank Size:
100 gallons
Advice:
With the World Wide Web available to you, there is no reason you can't find any answer someplace on the web. Ask questions, and learn. Water changes should be your best friend...I do a 20% water change every week and my fish are happy healthy and growing!
