Description:
I am a newbie. I'm still experimenting, trying to get my tanks to look how I want them to - trying to create natural looking environments. I'm addicted already - after just a few months - and wanting more and bigger tanks. I have a 15 gallon with barbs, a 26 gallon community tank, and a 29 gallon with Blook Parrot Cichlids.
Advice:
Patience. Take time to figure out what you really like, and go slow, or you'll drain your pocket book. Patience, and have fun with it.
Fish Kept:
Black Skirt Tetras, Blue-Red Columbian Tetras, Neon Tetras, Gourami, Otto Cats, Platys, Angel Rams, Rosy Barbs, Green Barbs, Gold Barbs, Blood Parrot Cichlids
Corals/Plants:
All plants are fake. Once I get the art of keeping fish happy and healthy down, maybe I'll experiment with live plants.
Tank Size:
26 gallons
About Yourself:
I've always wanted to get into the hobby of fish keeping. I finally found the right opportunity, and I'm enjoying getting started.
