Fish are friends, not food!
About Yourself:
Not too much of a fish geek I hope! Have been a veterinary nurse for 16 years, have two cats which find the tank quite boring!
Fish Kept:
One 6 inch Chocolate Oranda, one four inch Black Moor, one 5 inch Black Ranchu and one 2 inch Black Ranchu.
Corals/Plants:
Heehee,thank heavens for plant tabs!
I don't know if I should list the Latin names, it does seem to be the done thing, however I have never looked for anything specifically, I just buy plants that I think look nice, and the goldfish may not eat too quickly! I do have to replace the odd ones every month or so.
Ok among others; Eustralis stellata, Ophiopogon japonica, Anubiscongensis, Echinodorus bleheri and a few others that I can't be bothered to type out!
Tank Size:
40 gallons
Advice:
A good stockist is hard to find!! I regularly travel 30 odd miles to the best by far, it's completely worth it, don't settle for second best just because they are close.

Happy fish!

Fish Kept:
There are two larger Red Turquoise Discus and one new baby Brilliant Turquoise Discus. One Ornate Cory Cat and one Skunk Cory Cat (bottom feeders-great vacuum for discus!). Two Orange Bee Shrimp.
Corals/Plants:
There are many assortments of plants that I've tried to include in this tank. Amazon swords, Hornwort, Telanthera Rosefolia, Ludwigia Peruensis, and Wendtii Bronze are just a few. There are many more to come!
Tank Size:
45 gallons
Advice:
86ºF seems to work great with plants and Discus. Water changes should be done regularly. More often if you don't have sufficient filteration. Discus require a very clean environment. 10k Metal Halide lighting seems to work great for plants.

About Yourself:
I have a lot of experience of fishkeeping, but not with growing plants... so we'll see how it goes!
Fish Kept:
Platies, corydoras julii, bristlenose plec
Corals/Plants:
Cabomba, dwarf hairgrass, java fern, java moss
Advice:
Do your research and choose fish which are relatively undemanding. If you plan to grow live plants but have only the standard lighting that was provided with the aquarium, be sure to choose species which thrive under low light.
