Corals/Plants:
Water sprite and amazon swords
Tank Size:
65 gallons
Advice:
Borrow books from the library and read as much as you can. Pick your feature fish(could be your most expensive fish) and then pick other fishes that are compatiable with it. Don't start by buying the most expensive fish but rather fishes that are compatiable. You don't need to buy 2's of everything. Sometimes they don't get along with their own kind. Buy used equipments is a good way to save money and speed up setup them.

If wishes were fishes, everyone would have aquarium
About Yourself:
I've had aquariums off & on since I was a kid. Been back into it for the last 2 yrs. Found out I have a green thumb in growing the underwater plants in just all small-medium gravel. Going to change over to a sand and sub bottom next year and try some diff plants. But the fish love the plants and it makes it look more natural. I have to sell them or give them away when I prune about once every 10 days.
Fish Kept:
Tetra's, Angel's, Loaches, Barb's, Cory's, Pleco, Gourami, Snails, and Shrimp.
Corals/Plants:
Wisteria, Ludwigia, Crypts, Anubis, Java Fern, and Melon Swords.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Patience is the biggest thing. A aquarium is a moving picture of art. Take photos as it grows .
