Advice:
Be prepared to spend money...a lot of money. The cheapest is not always the best. But 10 mins of watching your fish tank is worth every penny.
I look at a fish tank as playing god in a sense, you're creating and maintaining an entire closed loop eco-system. Seeing your fish happy is an indicator of your skill and passion for fishkeeping.
Oh and never buy rocks, that's just crazy.
Fish Kept:
So far-
9 rummy nose tetras,
5 corys,
3 glass catfish,
2 golden gouramis (male and female),
2 kribensis cichlids (male and female),
1 albino pleco,
So far everyone is getting along!
Corals/Plants:
I honestly don't know what plants I ended up picking up but I've got about 8 or so young plants that will hopefully grow bigger soon.
I've got a small piece of driftwood with a plant growing out of it. I plan on getting a couple more larger pieces of driftwood.
I've got two rock caves built with other river rocks scattered around. Nice natural gravel lining the bottom.
Tank Size:
75 gallons
About Yourself:
I'm a 22 year old undergrad senior at the University of Minnesota, majoring in Psychology.
My parents always kept fish so they were just always around and I took them for granted. One day last year I decided to get a betta and well things just took off from there. Now I've got a 75 gallon.

Every passionate aquarist eventually faces a moment of crisis when a prized fish exhibits symptoms of illness, whether it is a stubborn case of Ich, frayed fins, or unexplained lethargy.
Few experiences in the aquarium hobby are as heart-stopping as looking into your tank during feeding time, counting fins, and realizing one of your favorite fish is missing, only to discover it squeezed into a perilous gap behind the filter or wedge-pinned behind a heavy resin castle.
For decades, freshwater aquarium salt has been hailed as a staple remedy in the fishkeeping community, often passed down from experienced hobbyists as a universal cure-all for sick, stressed, or newly acquired fish.
