About Yourself:
Loved my freshwater tank as a child, but wanted to get into something more serious and different now as an adult, many years later. I discovered that very few brackish tanks make up the percentage of household aquariums, and wanted to give myself a challenge. I found that with the right research, these unique aquaria are very inexpensive and very interesting to say the least.
Fish Kept:
- 3 juvinile mono argentus
- 1 adolescent mono sebae
Corals/Plants:
No live plants. This environment was aquascaped to mimick delta to open ocean environments. Lots of open space for the monos to swim and mature. No preditors.
Argonite sand substrate, lava and coral rock, and seashells. Fake coral.
Tank Size:
38 gallons
Advice:
ALWAYS cycle a tank before putting fish into it. This is especially true of many brackish species who need the bacteria to be healthy. Know your fish as well when you buy. Research, research, and then research. Forums are great places to look up info on your species of choice.
Also, be wary when purchasing brackish species. Many of them are kept in fresh water due to the inconsistancy of retailer info. Most "brackish" species, or those labelled as such, do much better in a proper brackish environment. A great example are figure 8 puffers, who are much healthier and happier (and less stressed) in brackish waters, as that is their natural habitat.

About Yourself:
Well i have a fish tank that has fish in it and i also like to go fishing. i have had this tank for just over one year but have had others in the past. i moved on to tropical so i can have new species of fish and Discover the joy again of fishkeeping.
Fish Kept:
2x Bamboo Shrimp
2x Wood Shrimp
3x Bronze corydoras
2x Rosey Barbs
6x Zebra Danios
1x Bristle nose catfish
10x Neon Tetras
5x Bleeding heart tetras
3x White mountain minnows
Corals/Plants:
Lots ... Leave a comment if you want to know
Tank Size:
11 gallons
Advice:
If your going to keep fish my advice is actuly to have tropical rather than marine and cold water because goldfish aren't really natural and i dont recommend marine as it is a lot of effort if your a first timer. If starting of with tropical then the fish i recommend are danios, mountain minnows or some sort of live bearer. if breeding for the first time then i suggest swordtails as they are very easy. also if experiencing algae problems i recommend shrimps to clean the algae but you will have to feed them aswell, or ive found out using a tooth brush gets rid of it quite well, much faster than the recommended brands.
