About Yourself:
I've been doing tanks on and off for about ten years now - mostly tropical. In 2005 I built my first cichlid tank that was a joy (counted 11 fry at one point) and a disaster (inexplicable ammonia issue that resulted in most of the tank dying off). I love having fish so I'm going back to the tropical communities but creating a focused tank built around a particular species.
Fish Kept:
Week 1 added: 2 opaline gouramis, 1 blue paradise gourami, 5 orange von rio tetras. Week 2 added: 2 gold gouramis. Week 3 added: 1 sunset honey gourami, 3 rosy barbs, 5 glolight tetras. Week 4: one gold gourami being too aggressive so it was exchanged for another gold. Week 5: added 2 peppered cory cats and 1 rainbow shark. I am completely baffled why 2 different rainbow sharks did not survive 24 hours in this tank. No more sharks (LFS suggested shark was too small for others in the tank and was picked on) :( Replaced shark with spotted dojo loach. UPDATE: Went away for 4 days, returned to find both gold gouramis, 1 opaline gourami, 2 glolite tetras, dojo loach and 1 peppered cory cat dead. Suspect the rosy barbs. At this point, what remains in the tank are: 1 opaline gourami, 1 blue paradise, 1 sunset honey gourami, 3 glolite tetras, 5 von rio tetras, 3 rosy barbs, 1 peppered cory cat. All seem to live well together.
Corals/Plants:
plastic/resin - 3 resin driftwood shapes; 3 large, 2 medium, 4 small plastic plants; organic sandstone rock; pea gravel substrate (slightly larger than average aquarium gravel)
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Regular water changes, regular cleaning, regular maintenance...in other words, set up a schedule before you ever put the first fish in the tank! Don't fill your tank to its capacity with all the fish at the same time. Get the most peaceful (and best at starting the nitogen cycle!) first and a couple of weeks later get a few more. These should be ultimately about half the fish capacity for your tank. Two weeks later after that then add the balance of the fish including any more aggressive types.

This is my recent tank for a tropical community built around gouramis.

Advice:
It's a good idea to research fish species before choosing fish, and join forums, read books, ask questions, and definatly learn about water chemistry before you set up. Give "fishless cycling" a try.

About Yourself:
I got into the hobby with Fancy Guppies, I dove into the hobby with Bettas. After that the fish world had me enthralled.
I'm working towards a double degree in Biology - with Organismic leaning - and Creative Writing. I love researching things, not only in the field, but at the computer and library as well. I read such a large number of books that I've ruined my eyes, and I have the same regard of animals (be they fish, reptiles, mammals, birds, or even some bugs) as most people have of other people.
Fish Kept:
List pending for when I have time to do this profile properly
Corals/Plants:
I prefer the look of unplanted freshwater tanks, and I have not at this time ever had a salt water tank.
Tank Size:
75 gallons
Advice:
It may seem easier to just get your fish to survive, but fish always pay you back, either with added entertainment or added beauty or pure satisfaction, if you go through the effort to make them thrive.
Research as much as possible! There are a lot of sites and a lot of books, so don't just rely on forums, although they can be helpful as well. Try to go through lots of sources and get a consensus rather than relying on just a few opinions.
Always cycle your tanks before you put fish in, and don't change all the filter media at once.
Do at least a 25% water change once a week. Also, get the required size of aquarium your fish will need when they are fully grown right off the bat. Always assume something will go wrong with upgrading later and you'll never be in trouble when something does.
