I have always wanted a elephantnose but very hard to look after and expensive.

Also one thing i think also i did wrong was adding sharp rocks with a mental case fish .

For me, not knowing about the whole process of cycling. I try to explain it to people now and I get that blank stare.

I remeber being a kid and wanting it because of how cool it looked to me, but I wasn't prepared for a fish with specific demands like that, such as the feeding and substrate requirements...back then it was flakes as food and regular gravel regardless of the fish

My first year of fish keeping I didn't even know what stress coat was. And when I got a 20 gallon I thought I had a HUGE tank. I mean, why would you ever need more than a 20 gallon tank...

I have another "fishkeeping" friend that stll thinks fish will grow to the size of the tank....and it's OK!

I had a 20 gallon tank that had 4 convicts, 2 angels, 3 albino cories, and a pleco.

That tank lasted about 6 months.
