Description:
My first tank.
Cant see it in the pics, but there's a retaining wall type thing, so the rear is about 2" higher than the front, with little caves made in the front section (on the front of the wall).
Got 9 African Cichlids floating around in their little world with 2 sucker fish (one normal, one albino).
Got a surprise the other day when I found one of them holding! (Pics uploading now)
I thought it was an all male tank!

About Yourself:
Getting back into the hobby hard with my new Amazon biotope tank.... I started out around 1995 and have generally had a tank most of the time since, with some breaks every now and then.
Fish Kept:
8 Serpae Tetras, 2 Cory cats, 1 pleco.
More to follow as tank ages...
Corals/Plants:
Fake plastic for now. Will add Amazon swords, moss and some low grasses eventually.
Tank Size:
55 gallons
Advice:
Go slow, read read, read. But go as big as you can (tank size) afford. Add fish slowly, and feed fish less than you think.
Description:
55 gal Amazon biotope, less than one month old.
Sand substrate, real driftwood.
Marineland Penguin 350 Bio Wheel filter with granulated peat media added to soften and color the water.
Black background.
Stealth 250W heater.
Stealth black air tubing.
Lighting is: 48" Satellite 2x65W SunPaq w/Lunar Light
8 Serpae Tetras, 2 Cory cats, 1 pleco.

About Yourself:
I started really getting into betta fish when I first had one as a pet. I found them beautiful, colorful, graceful, entertaining and love how they each have their own individual personalities.
Fish Kept:
1 Male CT (Crown Tail) Betta Fish whom I named Calypso.
Corals/Plants:
Fake plants, no coral.
Tank Size:
5 gallons
Advice:
Make sure you have a place to put your fish tank. Keep away from direct sunlight and do not put fish tank in front of windows. Be sure that you know what type of fish you plan on getting before you set up your fish tank. New tanks take 4-6 weeks before they are fully established. Make sure you have water testing kits that test for PH, Nitrate, Nitrite and Ammonia levels in the water. Keep this in mind, you need 1 gal. for every 1in. of the length of fish. So if a fish is 6 inches, you would need at least 6 or 7 gal. for that one particular fish.
Description:
5 Gal. Fish tank I bought from PetSmart. Perfect. Tank sits on my bed side dresser. I do not have a stand for it. Has small mini heater designed for smaller tanks and a Tetra Whisper filter which takes medium sized filter pads. The same filter replacements used for 10 gal. tank filters. Also contains a bubble maker that goes beneath the gravel. I do not know the dimensions of my fish tank. I have not measured it.
