About Yourself:
I've got my first 10 gallon fish tank when I was in 5th grade. And, i've been hooked ever since. I gave away my fish tanks but alway have gotten another one. My living space doesn't feel complete without one.
Fish Kept:
Two Pearl Gourami,Two Marbled Hatchet ,Four Black Tetra
Corals/Plants:
I have plastic plants and one amazon sword which looks very realistic. Also, I have one plastic root.
Tank Size:
29 gallons
Advice:
When starting a new aquarium, remember to do 50 percent water changes every week for the first 4-8 weeks (depending on tank size). This will get you safely through the nitrogen cycle without killing your fish. Only add a few hardy fish for the first 4-8 weeks then get your water tested then you can add your fish slowly. The key to a healthy fish tank is weekly water changes of 30 percent and monthly gravel cleaning with sifone and not overcrowding your tank. I have found that when keeping tropical fish it is best to keep the temperature at 82 degrees. This helps prevent the fish from getting ick. Also, add freshwater aquarium salt and provide plenty of aeration.My marbel angle fish out grew my 29 G so they went back to the pet store where i got them. the guy said angels perfer about a 55G tank.So keep this in mind when buying an anglefish, they also become very aggresive when they git biger but after all they are Cichlids.

Fish Kept:

If you have a big tank you should get fish that school.
Corals/Plants:
Silk plants, they look real and keep your fish tank cleaner. Black gravel, real drift wood form Lake Michigan(boil your wood before you put it in your tank) it cheaper than buying fake. Real rocks fish like to hide....
Tank Size:
125 gallons
Advice:
Keep your tank away from windows, try to keep the lights off most of the time and your tank will stay cleaner. When you buy a fish tank don' t be in a rush to buy fish rite away, give it time to cycle. Test your water or have the fish store test it before you buy fish. That could save you alot of money.......

About Yourself:
Been running tanks since I was 18 and still going strong. I have run Saltwater, freshwater community tanks, and even reef tanks. My favorite is freshwater game fish because I live right off a lake so walk across the street and jump on my boat and fish!! They are such beautiful fish in my eye! Years ago I raised a Tiger Muskie from 2-3 inches to about 18" and was then placed into the Bass Pro Shops tank and lived happily there.
Fish Kept:
Right now the tank has the following:
2 Largemouth Bass
1 Channel catfish
2 Bullhead catfish
2 Bluegill
1 Pumpkinseed
1 Crappie
1 Crayfish
1 Perch
Corals/Plants:
No live plants but have Rocks from my lake in the tank and 2 huge logs for hiding and cover. Also, have drift wood inside the tank.
Tank Size:
150 gallons
Advice:
Remember to properly cycle your tank in the beginning. I also like to do regular 10% water changes weekly. Also, before I put any items into my tank from outside I boil everything to kill off contaminants.

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.

About Yourself:
I'm originally from the Caribbean and wildlife was all around me when I was a child. I love the ocean and its inhabitants so I will always have fish no matter what.
Fish Kept:
4 juvenile jack dempseys. All 1 inch long.
Corals/Plants:
Black spectra stone, real driftwood, fake plants
Tank Size:
30 gallons
Advice:
Always get a filter with a higher gph it keeps water conditons at its best. Don't get too excited the fewer fish in your tank the better. Always try to create an environment that emulates the one they inhabit in the wild, it brings out your fish's true colors. Please do research before purchasing. Last but not least care for your fish according to nature's standards not yours and your fish keeping experience will be enjoyable and worthwhile. Who said fish are boring pets!.

Corals/Plants:
All Artificial. Local Rock.
Tank Size:
26 gallons
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.
