About Yourself: I saw bubble-eye goldfishes at a petstore and it looked like it needed me to take care of them. It started with a few goldfish and plastic plants and I slowly replaced plastic with colorful plants that I thought would fit in well.
Fish Kept: Three fancy goldfish (Golden Bubble-eye, Butterfly Black Moore, and Golden Ranchu), 8 white-cloud minnows, and one flower shrimp.
Corals/Plants: Purple waffle (which is only semi-aquatic), Java moss, Java fern, Cryptocoryne, Red Ludwigia, Cyperus helferi, and a few other varieties.
Tank Size: 33 gallons
Advice: Decide what is more important for you, the fish or the plants and accomdate accordingly.

The truth is you don't need all these excuses; you don't need any, just do it.

About Yourself: I was about 15 when I got my first tank and it was a 30 gallon saltwater and I had a pretty nice setup. Sadly all my fish died because of an ick outbreak that could not be controlled. That encounter was my first huge loss of money ($200 worth of fish). I go to college full-time for a physics degree and wish to work for NASA someday.
Fish Kept: 4 Kenyi Cichlids (Pseudotrophis Lombardoi) Male and 3 Females 3 Yellow Labs (Labidochromis Caeruleus) 1 Male and 2 Females More Pictures...
Corals/Plants: <p>I bought some really cool mediterranean travertine slabs from Home Depot some were broken so that made them perfect to stack. I also have rocks that were collected from Vancouver Island, B.C. and some carved stone I found at a pet store.</p> <p>Plants: 2 Amazon Swords (that has taken off quite well since I bought it); 4 Corkscrew Vallisneria (arent doing so great, but are pretty inexpensive around $1.49); 1 Moneywort</p>
Tank Size: 30 gallons
Advice: Read a book on aquariums. Find a fish you really want and then use a fish compatibilty chart to see which fish species are compatible. Furthermore, adapt your own style aquarium. Don't buy overpriced cheap and distasteful decorations from pet stores. Do something fun and maybe even innovative to really involve yourself with your aquarium and you will appreciate it that much more. Always remember to take your time and cycle your tank properly. Impulse buying is hard to get around sometimes in this hobby, but if you just wait you will feel a lot better in the long run.
