1 Leopard Ctenopoma
Corals/Plants:
Fake plants. Not much of a greenthumb yet.... i will be setting up a large tank when my livingroom is redone, i know i have silver dollars but I figure that if there is enough then they might keep me from pruning and that there is also some plants they wont eat, but need to do more research for sure before attempting.
Tank Size:
45 gallons
Advice:
Lots and Lots of research. Internet is great but find it at least 3 times to make sure its solid advice.
Description:
updated picture of the 46 gal tank. Took a couple decorations out as going to try to limit the transfer to the 125 as easy as possible, ever since trying the sand in the 125 ill never go back, i find the larger gravel like this makes the tank look yellow. not my favorite. Easy to clean tho. This tanks shut down now as the 125 is done and Its going to start up again saltwater style!

About Yourself:
I started in this hobby about 30 years ago with a 10 gallon aluminum framed tank! Take your time, the way you can tell if you are a successful aquarist is by the longevity of your fish. Most of my fish are 3-7 years old. My Plecostomas is 15 years old!
Fish Kept:
2 angels, 2 x ray fish, 5 albino tetras, 1 plecostomus
Corals/Plants:
artificial
Tank Size:
38 gallons
Advice:
Don't overload your tank with too many fish! Take your time, and read all about the hobby. Learn from your mistakes, and don't give up.

Fish Kept:
Vieja argentea, Archocentrus octofasciatus (Jack Dempsey), and Crenicichla strigata (Striped Pike Cichlid)
Also: 2 x Platydoras costatus (Striped Raphael Catfish), 1 x Glyptoperichthys gibbiceps (Spotted Sailfin Pleco)
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Start with a bigger tank... It's much easier to control the water quality on a 40+ tank than it is on a smaller tank. In a small tank adding one fish too fast can spike the ammonia and nitrite levels enough to kill the others if you aren't careful...
