About Yourself:
I used to live in California in the United States but I had to move to Galway in Ireland because of family business. I was forced to sell my 15 gallon fish tank with my beloved goldfish it was very sad as they were 10 years old. I bought a new 17 gallon tank here in Ireland with new goldfish and a algae eaters eater and im flying it!!!!!!! ITS A GREAT HOBBY!!!!!!!!
Fish Kept:
My fish are fairly simple to mind but I like them I have a variety of 6 goldfish, 3 white cloud moutain minnow, 2 plecostomuses, 1octomus (algae crew) and 3 weather loach.
Corals/Plants:
I have plants with some fake plants and river rocks at the bottom. I recently added bogwood in the centre for natural effect and the fish are thriveing in it .
Tank Size:
17 gallons
Advice:
Take your time to plan out what type of tank you want and the size. The fish should be evenly matched so one fish doesnt get all the food, get a good filtration pump so it minimizes cleaning also get an oxegen pump and lighting, but most of all have fun and enjoy being a fish keeper.

About Yourself:
I started keeping fish at age 6. It all started with 2 orandas that my cousin won at a fair and was too lazy to take care of. From there I switched to tropical fish with fake plants, then back to goldfish, then I did tropical again, but kept the goldfish. Then I made my own pond and added koi. Then I got into cichlids, but I couldn't stand watching them fight and kill each other, so I started a reef tank. My first reef tank attempt was a total disaster. I ended losing more than $3000 worth of livestock. So I instead switched to a planted tank with discus and angels, and I still have them. So I still have a pond with koi & goldfish, a planted discus & angels tank and I started a reef tank again.
Fish Kept:
Discus, Angels, 1 powder blue gouramis, 1 red fire gouramis, 1 honey gouramis, rasboras, a few platys, 3 swordtails, peppered corys, and mystery snails
Corals/Plants:
anubias: coffeefolia, nana, & barteri -crypts: balansae, becketti, lutea, petchii, wenditi red & bronze, willisii, & ciliata - stem: anacharis, bacopa, cabomba purple, giant hygrophila, hair grass, lloydiella, moneywort, frill, ludwigia broadleaf & narrow, red temple, wisteria, water sprite -swords: amazon, marble queen, melon, dwarf chain, brazilian, ozelot - vallisneria- giant, red marble -other plants: onion plant, java moss, & white ribbon, dwarf sagittaria, & I have a few others that I forgot their names
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Be patient. Never ever buy sick fish, quarantine new fish always. Always rinse new pants. Keep your lights on for at least 10 hours a day, Co2 helps. Take a chance what doesn't work for other might work for you. Enjoy your tank!!!
