Balloon mollies are divas
Description:
3 balloon mollies keeping me company during the last 6 months of writing my PhD thesis. Their names are officer 'smitty' mcclusky (white/pink), the 'situation' (patchy yellow and orange), and jamaal (black with blue speckles). These divas need brackish water and lots of maintenance. Bigs ups to my 3 little distractions.

Always buy fish only from sustainable sources.
Fish Kept:
18 tetra neon, 5 golden mollies, 2 honey gouramies, 1 plecostomus, 6 platties, 3 yoyo loaches, 3 java loaches, 3 kuhlli loaches, 5 apple snails, 1 male betta.
Corals/Plants:
Only a small branch of fox tail. The rest are synthethic.
Tank Size:
29 gallons
Advice:
Use hard species, use a filter of synthetic cotton if you want ultra transparent water, nothing fancy about filters, the classic plastic cube is the best.
The neon tetras always require to be tempered before adding them to the tank.
Best cure for Ich, temperature.
Always add a small plant to close the nitrogen cycle and avoid toxicity.

Advice:
Patience. Do not fully stock a new tank, collect your fish. Do research on the fish you buy, or are thinking of buying. Check whether they are community, semi-aggressive, aggressive, cichlid etc. to minimize injury or death. Remember that your fish are going to grow, so make sure you have an appropriate sized aquarium for when they grow up. Fish can live for over a decade if properly taken care of. Create variation in your fishes diet. There are many types of food (flake, dried, live, frozen). When you decorate your tank do some research on where your fish came from. Do they prefer tall plants? no plants? rocks? sand? Check PH and ammonia levels once a week or more. Temperature is also important, keep an eye on it. My fish all prefer temperatures of 78-80 degrees Fahrenheit. Do not hesitate to ask your local tropical store for advice, the internet is also very helpful when you have a specific question. It is ultimately all about making your fish as comfortable and as happy as they can be, while still letting your creativity show through. Have fun, get interested and love your pets.
