Be proud of your achievements!
Fish Kept:
Cichlids are one of the best all around fish types in my opinion. Currently I have 2 Convicts, 1 Midas, 1 Fire Mouth, 1 Green Terror, 1 Jack Dempsey, 1 Pleco, a Large Black Shark (the King), and a pictus cat
Corals/Plants:
a little of everthing!! They add a whole other diminsion.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Two things not to skimp on: Filtration and Lighting. Investing in these will tip the scales towards enjoying the tank rather than cleaning it!! (this comes from experience!)
Description:
I added a variety of plants. I havent had much luck with real plants.. they always get dug up. urg!! Any advice will be greatly appreciated

About Yourself:
To start I'm a fisherman. One day in college I thought, "Hey it would be cool to watch these guys in a tank!" But, if you know anything about walleye, they are not that pretty and prefer colder waters. So I got a tank and got some fishes that were more suited for aquarium life. To this day it has yet to stop entertaining me!
Fish Kept:
6 African Cichlids, 1 Pleco +12"
Corals/Plants:
All plastic... it's an aquarium not a garden
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Start with something easy then once you got the hang of it work your way up to more exotic fish. Don’t start with a 10 gallon unless you have to. Spend the more and invest in a bigger tank that will last longer. So then when you do understand how to run an aquarium you can get that cool exotic fish you saw in the pet shop.
P.S. Cleaning them sucks after while, but in the end you will have a much healthier tank
