About Yourself:
My father is a geology professor who helped origonate the idea of plate techtonics, my stepmother is a marine biologist who introduced me to freshwater fishtanks when she was studying crayfish behavior(she was far from the sea as we moved to Ithaca NY when I was ten). I used to raise fish I caught in the local streams and ponds. I buried flat rocks in the front corners of my tank and watched as the crayfish created their burrows, and then I was able to watch them as I had set it up so I would be able to see into their homes. I would return fish and crayfish to the stream when I went away for trips and when they got too big. I'm a respiratory therapist, I have an eight year old son, and we're both into fishtanks and N-scale trains.
Fish Kept:
14 inch arawana, 3 8-10 inch Florida spotted gars, 2 eight inch hydro gars, 2 7 inch weather loaches, 1 6 inch talapia.
Corals/Plants:
Large, medium, and small anubias, java fern, java moss, Amazon sword, and a few kinds of other medium to small nice plants.
Tank Size:
100 gallons
Advice:
Try live plants and make sure you have adequate lighting, and over-do the biological filtration. You will need to clean less often and you'll have a more stable ecosystem.
Description:
100 gallon tank looking pretty bare because I just removed 90% of all the leaves due to ugly black/red brush algae. I literally pulled up all the plants or removed them from the wood, removed 9 out of 10 leaves from each, bleached much of the wood and accessories, and then replanted.

Advice:
Bigger tanks are easier to keep. Don't put too many fish in a tank. Figure out what fish you want before you buy, you can't give them away most times, and if you put incompatible fish in together it will end badly.
Description:
10 gallon planted tank. I like the way the sword is taking up the whole right side of the tank. The fish like it too
