Keeping it all natural.
About Yourself:
I work shift work at a refinery. The fish are relaxing to watch and enjoy after the work day is done.
Fish Kept:
25 male only african cichlids (mbunas & peacocks), 1 convict (south american), 2 catfish, 2 clown loach.
Corals/Plants:
All Live; Anubius, sword, java fern and one other?
Tank Size:
90 gallons
Advice:
Try not to buy entire put together kits when buying an aquarium as the componets are generally poor quality. Buy your tank separtely and upgrade in better equipment.
When going with african cichlids purchase your peacock cichlids, cats & algae eaters first and later after a couple months add your more aggresive mbuna. The mbuna may not attack the established fish in your tank but they will be very aggressive or kill new fish. Learned the hard way.

About Yourself:
I saw bubble-eye goldfishes at a petstore and it looked like it needed me to take care of them. It started with a few goldfish and plastic plants and I slowly replaced plastic with colorful plants that I thought would fit in well.

Three fancy goldfish (Golden Bubble-eye, Butterfly Black Moore, and Golden Ranchu), 8 white-cloud minnows, and one flower shrimp.
Corals/Plants:
Purple waffle (which is only semi-aquatic), Java moss, Java fern, Cryptocoryne, Red Ludwigia, Cyperus helferi, and a few other varieties.
Tank Size:
33 gallons
Advice:
Decide what is more important for you, the fish or the plants and accomdate accordingly.

About Yourself:
I had a few aquariums when I was younger. But it was over 6 years ago. Last christmas we (me and my wife) got goldfish from my wife parents. We were not preper for it so fish died after one day (to small tank wich was originally for beta, mom didn't know that). Than I decided to statrt once again and I bought bigger tank (5 USG). I have there 3 goldfishes now and they are doing fine. Two months ago I found old 16 USG tank wich someone put on the sidewalk, I cleaned it resealed bought new equipment and plants. Month ago I put first fishes. Now I have "second TV" in my living room:-). I'm going to set up bigger tank in the future
