Advice:
Build & design your tank over a period of a few days or weeks allowing you to think of new ideas to add to your design. Test your patience as much as you can especially when starting off. Read up & check out any rare species of fish or plants so that you can care to there needs as much as possible. Always get 2 or 3 opnions and cross reference advice given as most fish shops will tell you anything for a sale & may sound more experinced or knowledgable than they are. Try to stick to a few fish shops & build a relationship, it will get you personal advice from staff & pay off in an emergency. NEVER FISH SHOP WATER, always net your fish from the water they come in after you float your fish for a good while. For delicate fish you can acclimatise them by adding a bit of your water to theres, but still net them out and get rid of the water they came in. Make sure you bury you plants well, CO2 injection isnt nessary in most tanks. If you want your plants to grow then get bright lights and have as little water movement as possible avoiding stagnent areas and oxygen starvation. Co2 in the water and bright lights make plants grow & even a bit of iron fertiliser helps out sometimes. Net out dead fish & plant leaves etc asap. Inspect your fish for desease regular and WASH YOUR FILTER SPONGES IN TANK WATER.

About Yourself:
I like watching my fish tanks better than tv. Much of my enjoyment comes from decorating the tank. Not sure why I like fish so much; It must have started with my goldfish. I'm not really into the names of the fish, how rare or common they are, or the latest in aquarium tech. I just like the way aquariums look and make me feel, and I like trying to make the fish feel happy so hopefully happiness is a feeling fish have. Besides staring at my fish tanks I spend a lot of time bar hopping in San Diego. Fish tanks and beer, baby!
Fish Kept:
In the 10 gallon: harlequin rasbora (6), peppered cory (1), gold cory (2), rubber lip pleco (1), otocinclus (3), crystal shrimp (5), scarlet gem badis (1).
, ,
In the 29 gallon: comet goldfish (1), mollies (3), rosy barbs (3), adonis pleco (1).
Corals/Plants:
Some tall ones, some shorts ones. Whatever plants looked nice at the fish store. :)
Tank Size:
10 gallons
Advice:
Start with the biggest possible tank you can afford. The bigger the tank the easier to maintain. My 29 gallon is easier than my 10 gallon, 10 gallon is easier than 5 gallon. Starting up is expensive! For really good deals on used fish equipment. Don't be afraid to buy used tanks, pumps, lighting, and other parts that can be easily cleaned. Almost all of my aquarium parts are used and my fish are living long happy lives.

Advice:
Do not believe everything you hear or read in fish stores. Always go home and check the advice you are given in books and multiple online sources before you buy anything. After a while, you will learn which LFS people actually know what they are talking about and are truthful. This applies especially in terms of adult fish size and fish compatibility.
