About Yourself:
This is my first tank. I helped out a roommate with his, till I moved. I read up on different "aquascaping" books to get an idea of how I should set it up so the fish I wanted to get would be happy.
Fish Kept:
4 tiger barbs, 2 convict chiclids, 1 CAE, 1 Pictus cat.
Corals/Plants:
On the left, I've got some variant of Amazon sword, some Java fern growing on top of a cave, & a single Radican sword. In the middle, I've got a large piece of driftwood that I'm in the process of getting J. fern attached to. On the right, I've got 2 more Radican swords behind another cave.
Tank Size:
30 gallons
Advice:
Less chemicals! The water in my tank sucked for months. I kept doing water changes, but was trying to fix the problem with stuff like "Am-quel". It did it's job, but was screwing up my cycling. After almost 3 months, I finally stopped with the chemicals & just focused on water changes & light feeding every other day. Worked like a charm. 0 ammo, 0 nitrite, 20 ppm nitrates

I hate algae
About Yourself:
I first started this hobbie when I saw my uncle's tank. I started with 2 cherry barbs, 2 tiger barbs, and a plecostomos. And 4 plants. Then unfortunately I bought a leopard puffer from a store that said they did good in freshwater and of course it died in about 2 weeks. Then my barbs died and my pleco died so I bought these little guys and they are doing very good.
Fish Kept:
Neon Tetras
Corals/Plants:
Brazilian Waterweed,
Amazon Sword Plants,
Onion Plant, and
Water Primrose
Tank Size:
10 gallons
Advice:
Clean algae when you first see it because it can get uncontrollable. Also do NOT buy leopard or eight spotted puffers and put them in a freshwater tank they will die for sure.
