About Yourself:
I'm a 22 year old undergrad senior at the University of Minnesota, majoring in Psychology.
My parents always kept fish so they were just always around and I took them for granted. One day last year I decided to get a betta and well things just took off from there. Now I've got a 75 gallon.
Fish Kept:
So far-
9 rummy nose tetras,
5 corys,
3 glass catfish,
2 golden gouramis (male and female),
2 kribensis cichlids (male and female),
1 albino pleco,
So far everyone is getting along!
Corals/Plants:
I honestly don't know what plants I ended up picking up but I've got about 8 or so young plants that will hopefully grow bigger soon.
I've got a small piece of driftwood with a plant growing out of it. I plan on getting a couple more larger pieces of driftwood.
I've got two rock caves built with other river rocks scattered around. Nice natural gravel lining the bottom.
Tank Size:
75 gallons
Advice:
Be prepared to spend money...a lot of money. The cheapest is not always the best. But 10 mins of watching your fish tank is worth every penny.
I look at a fish tank as playing god in a sense, you're creating and maintaining an entire closed loop eco-system. Seeing your fish happy is an indicator of your skill and passion for fishkeeping.
Oh and never buy rocks, that's just crazy.

I invest in both stocks and real estate, I go to school for Hotel Management, And I work alot as a bartender. I work hard and play harder, on top of all that I still look good. I enjoy going to clubs/dancing, skiing, working out, reading, and making music. I'm a big time music junkie, I use to dance professionally and still do sometimes, for me it's a spiritual high.

I didn't name my kirbenses as they all look alike, but my angle fish are Micheal, Gabreal, Rapheal, and Ureal. My smaller cat fish is Sven, and my big catfish is Ceasar. My mollie are Horus, Aphrodite, Isis, and Mystery. My betta's name is Posidon. My two cherry shrimp's names are Cheif, and Picasso.
Corals/Plants:
I don't know what their called to be honest.
Tank Size:
10 gallons
Advice:
Don't go to the pet shop and try to pinch a penny, or you'll end up with something cheap. Fish tank's are not also a science but also a great deal of fun. especially decorating them. and also it's ok to think out side the box when doing so. just make sure your fish all get along, and spoil them with food regularly. they say betta fish are best kept alone, and that's not entirely true. in my experience, most bettas do fine with most fish if they have space for themselves. just get have at least a 5 gallon tank.

About Yourself:
Started keeping fish 6 years ago when i was bought a small tank as a gift. caught the bug and at the moment currently succesfully run 5 different style tanks ranging from 10 gallon fancy goldfish to 66 gallon malawi tank. i am constantly looking at ways to improve upon the look of my tanks and my next project is likely to be swapping the malawi tank setup for one with plants and bogwood

Advice:
if at first you dont suceed keep trying. sometimes you get success and others it goes pear shaped without you changing a single thing. if you want a well planted aquarium make your substrate quite deep. let somebody with green fingers do the planting!!!
