About Yourself:
I got into fish tanks because i won some fair fish about a year ago. bought a 10 gallon tank to put them in (they're still alive!!). things just took off from there. i fell in love with the hobby. just got my 55 Gallon about 2 weeks ago.
Fish Kept:
55 Gallon- male and female blue paradise gourami
29 Gallon- 3 south american cichlids and a small jack
dempsy that is growing too fast
26 Gallon- 4 south american cichlids
10 Gallon- 4 zebra danios and 2 mollies
10 Gallon- 2 goldfish and 2 platies
10 Gallon- temporary housing for a small parrot fish
Corals/Plants:
all artificial...real rocks from a creek in the 55...lol
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
take your time with tanks. do not overstock your tanks!! check fish tank mates before you purchase fish so that you can have the variety that you may want eventually. test the water in a new tank with inexpensive fish to make sure that they can survive before you go spending lots of money on expensive fish. do not over-feed your fish. once in the morning and once at night in small amounts is good. over-feeding clouds the water. if your tank is by a window expect green water and excessive algae growth. lots of water changes needed if this happens to clear it up(i learned the hard way)

Mine and my girlfriends tank =).
Fish Kept:
1 angel fish, 2 albino cory, and 2 burmese boarder loach.
Corals/Plants:
Plants: Echinodorus Amazonicus
Decor: Gravel and fake coral
Tank Size:
12 gallons
Advice:
Keep up with the tank cleaning wise. I have had this tank for about 4 years now and my biggest problem I had when I was starting out was not maintaining a clean tank. Also, take your time when adding new fish. Do the research! There have been some instances when I was starting out when I just got a fish only to find out it was an aggressive fish that picked on all my other 'community' fish.
