About Yourself:
I started when I was 12 after envying a tank at my library. I did the research and started with a ten gallon which ran successfully for a year until we moved. So far, it's been my healthiest tank, though I've gained so much more practical knowledge.
Fish Kept:
Over the years and in different tanks:
Tropical Freshwater: Platties, Swordtails, Neon Tetras, Corydoras, Clown Loach, Rosy Barbs, Chinese algea eater
Coldwater Freshwater: Goldfish (Commons, Orandas, Ryunkins, Lionheads, Comets, Fantails, Telescope Eyes, Pearlscales), Dojo loaches, Bristlenose pleco, White Cloud Mountain Minnows
Corals/Plants:
Java Ferns and Moss (easy!)
Amazon Sword
Ludwig
Wisteria
...and others I can't remember
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
RESEARCH! Make the Nitrogen Cycle an important part of this research, and don't skimp on the time it requires.
With goldfish, 10 gallons per fish is a good rule for those new to the hobby.

Corals/Plants:

Tank Size:
72 gallons
Advice:
Start small, and work your way up. I originally had a 10 gallon tank in high school after a great ecobottle project, and recently upgraded to a bigger tank. I love the responsability even though i have not taken on tougher species yet. My partial mistakes with the small tank make me feel more accountable, as I monitor the tank at every possible moment
