I'm just gonna get this one last $10 thing, honey, and then we're all set on fish stuff. ;-)
About Yourself:
A 5 gal hex tank sits directly in front of me (where a computer monitor would go) in my tall corner desk. Another 5 gal is up on the top shelf of my desk, and the 20 gal is directly to my right, so I'm virtually surrounded by fishies in my home office. The 55 gal serves as a room divider in my front room, so it's visible from both sides. I'm a full time student, an avid gardener (succulents, vegetables & herbs), and I paint murals with my darling husband, who is a professional artist. We also have a terrarium with a Tree Frog named Smeagol, and 3 very spoiled Kitties.
Fish Kept:
I have kept goldfish, plecos, otos, fancy guppies (bred these for a while), platys, black skirt tetras, long fin zebra danios, bettas, African dwarf frogs, apple snails
Corals/Plants:
several varieties of freshwater plants.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Research BEFORE buying anything! NO impulse buys!
* Especially for size needs and fish compatibility
Don't be afraid to return your fishies back to the store if your setup isn't right for them yet. They are living creatures who deserve to be comfortable!
Description:
My small Betta tank: 5.5 gal with 3 live plants, milky quartz. 1 male crown tail (Piet, at the top) and 1 female African dwarf frog (Dorothea). Small tanks can be pretty too! (Though these guys both think it's huge!)

Fish Kept:
german breed red peacock.
Corals/Plants:
I have a few asst. swords and a few crypts on the left of which, i'm not sure the type. but should grow thin and curly,plus long. will update soon with some speices names.
Tank Size:
75 gallons
Advice:
My advice is the same as most peoples, read everything you can find on the care of the speices of fish you like ,investigate future tanks mates just the same.
Buy the biggest tank you can afford.Because water perameters won't change so drastically in larger tanks.
Also and most important do not over stock your tank with fish,unless you have a large sump filtation system or an expensive canister filter. This i just my opinion but it will save you in the long run as far your pump's filter media cost's.. HOPE THIS HELPS..
Description:
My main tank too bad most of my fish are hiding.also i had to crop alot of this tank out to come in under 500kb.
