Advice: Be patient at the beginning, let your tank cycle properly and be slow and steady whilst adding fish. Don't go crazy and be careful what you mix fish wise; try and make the aquarium suitable for the fish you choose. DO NOT OVERSTOCK!! And then...10-20% water changes every 1-2 weeks. Check your nitrate, nitrite and ammonia levels every once in a while. Feed the fish but not too much! That's it, very simple.

Quote: Fish are fun!
About Yourself: I got into fish about 10 years ago and have been hooked ever since! I only got into the real plants 2 years ago. I currently own 4 fresh tanks that range from 29 to 5 gallons(blame the small apartment) and I find it to be a very rewarding and relaxing hobby.
Fish Kept: A peaceful community tank with a 1 clown loach, 1 female betta, 1 gold marble angel, 2 sunset gouramis, and 7 neon tetras.
Corals/Plants: Plants include cabomba, amazon, radican and brazillian swordplants and banana plants.
Tank Size: 29 gallons
Advice: Get as much information from books and articles as you can. Learn learn learn! Don't buy a plant or fish if you know absolutely nothing about it. And don't be afraid to ask advice from people that work with or own fish. This worked for me!
