About Yourself:
just your average mad moo! ever since i can remember we have always kept a fish tank, my favorite dudes have to be the goldies, such characters i love them all! i even have a sleeve of fish tattoos down one arm! crazy about fish,im slowly turning in to a living skin sea life centre! lol
my interests are motorbikes and metal music, oh and fish!
Fish Kept:
today the 29th june 2010 i have put my comets and shabumpkin in the pond. its been a hot day and and to be fair they were getting way to big! i have 2 large fancy gold fish and a shoal of 15 mixed minnows now..
Corals/Plants:
all plants are silk or plastic due to the fact that its just way too far down to mess about too much planting, the power head is so powerful the bottom of the tank never needs attention so im lucky! other than that if i do need to get down there i have a handy grabber i took of my gran!
Tank Size:
36 gallons
Advice:
water is the sacred god in the world of the gilled ones!
excellent filtration, water quality, plenty of air, makes for happy
Description:
this is my 36 gallon circular tank.
sand bed with silk/plastic plant due to the fact that i haven't mastered how to get my Inspector Gadget arms to work! was hard work lowering the rocks and planting it out with just an extended BBQ tong! the tank being 5.5 foot tall im glad of my step ladders!

A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three times before lying down.
About Yourself:
Started keeping fish in a 29G long tank my stepfather brought home one day. Never looked back. Spent quite a lot over the years, but it's been worth it to me.
Fish Kept:
30+Kribensis(20+ are 2 month old fry), 12 White cloud minnows, 12 Blue pearl Danios, 2 bettas(blue, regular species), 2 German Blue Rams Longtail, 1 10" Common Pleco
Corals/Plants:
Aponegeton(varied, mostly "fancy"), Blocca, Amazon Sword, Java Fern, Java Moss, Red Wendtii.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
When trying to grow plants BOTH the amount of light you have and the SPECTRUM of light you have ARE KEY!!!!!! Plants need light in the red spectrum to photosynthesize!!! As well your available light spectrum will have to be specific to your plants and fish! If you have a blue fish but very low blue light from your lights the fish won't shine it's brightest! Keep them fed well, (i feed once a day every morning when i turn on the lights). Filtration and water quality are very very very important! Relax, have patience, enjoy the tank. My tank is several years old and doesn't even look as good as I want it but you can't rush these things
Description:
My tank from 4 feet away. Sorry about my bad camera and photography skills :)
On the left hand side of the tank is an amazon sword that has grown to be about 14" tall
Comments welcome!
