About Yourself:
pretty new to fish keeping. All started when the wife wouldn't go to petco with me for dog food, and i told her if she comes with me, ill get her something...and she said fine...i want a pretty betta fish. Obviously i had to take care of him. after that, i decided on a 33 gallon bowfront, which i had for 4 months with mostly mollys and my african clawed frog. now recently upgraded a month ago to this 90 gallon, and the only pet that was transferred from the 33 gallon is the clawed frog, who lives seamlessly with the african cichlids.

About Yourself:
Like most, I expect, I started off with a funfair prize goldfish and wild caught Sticklebacks. I have now been keeping fish for about 35 years, moving on from the goldfish to a freshwater community tank in my bedroom as a young teenager.
This community tank eventually developed into a 4 foot Oscar and Black shark tank which moved with me into my first house. (The tank was 4 foot, NOT the Oscar). I sold the tank and fish when I moved again, soon setting up a 3 foot brackish tank. This contained half a dozen Monos. 2 Silver cat sharks, an Archer fish and a small Scat. In the mid 1990s the brackish tank naturally developed into a marine hobby. I kept a variety of hardy marine fish. Yellow tang, Regal tang, Lion fish, Clown fish, Various Damsels over the course of about seven years. Most successfully a wimple fish which I had for about 5 years.
And a few less hardy ones, which did not last very long. Expensive lessons learned.
After moving house in 2003 I took a reluctant enforced break.then set up a small, low cost, freshwater, easy maintenance Malawi cichlid tank.
I think they have a similar Wow factor colouration as marines , but are much less hassle to keep.
Fancying a change last year I decided to go the "beginner fish done properly" route and have a (almost) species tank for Angels and loads of freshwater neons.
Fish Kept:
36 x Black Neons
2 x Scalare angels
2 x Gold angels
1 x Trilineatus cory
5 x Assasin snails
Corals/Plants:
Currently.
Black gravel.
White rock and bleached corals.
Marine look
Tank Size:
33 gallons
Advice:
Think of keeping WATER instead of fish.
If the water is good, the fish will be good.
