Hi there guys. I've Joined a couple fish forums trying to find one with a lot of active members and wanted to introduce myself. I'm a fairly new fish owner and am really loving it.
Here's my setup

I can't remember how to make it directly visible in the post. Click to enlarge.
I have 3 mollies (Dalmatian, black (yucatan I think), and an orange one), an angelfish (I'm very upset I lost the two babies I brought home with him), 3 bumblebee gobies, 9 glofish (assorted all 5 colors), and a gold algae eater.
I did a lot of research when I started this but I was misinformed and completely uninformed about two things which caused the death of 3 of my fish. I didn't find anywhere that mentioned halfway through a cycle when ammonia hits zero nitrite would skyrocket and I read many sources that said it was either not possible or completely unreliable to do a fish out cycle. Pretty upset about it knowing I could have avoided those deaths but other than that everything has gone great.
The breeder net in the top left of the tank contains 7 Dalmatian mollies, 10 days old, and there's a ten gallon dawning tank outside of the picture that currently contains glofish eggs. People kept telling me they were sterile but they have now spawned twice. My LFS is interested in buying all my fish that keep birthing so that makes me happy that I don't have to worry about my tank getting over full or all the babies getting eaten
Glad to meet you all and glad to have joined the community =)
