About Yourself:
Started a 10 gallon tank for my nieces one weekend. Started reading up and got interested. It relaxes me for some reason (My day job is as a finance executive). I see aquatic plants as an extension of gardening. I also maintain a 65 gallon marine tank that a professional set up for me. My goal try to keep plants and fish looking good, happy and growing together.
Fish Kept:
2 Corydoras,2 Black Neon, 2 Otocinclus 3 Crossocheilus siamensis, trying to establish a group of Neons but 6 out of 10 didn't make it : (
Corals/Plants:
Hygrophila, Amazon sword, Annubias 'Nana', Cryptocoryne 'Wendtii', Red Tiger lotus, duckweed for nutrient export.
Tank Size:
29 gallons
Advice:
Always bring a fish book to the store even if you're not shopping for fish. You will avoid unwise purchases.
