I've been reading MFK.com a few weeks now as i get more and more into my tanks and wanting to do more.
Years ago i owned a lil 10g with some Mollies, and Tigr barbs, and now 20 years later, Army has me settled for a period in texas we decided to set up a 20g we had given to us for our 3yo...well what started with a 20g now has my wife questioning if i've lost my marbles. Because my 20g (err my sons 20g) has become a Guppy ghost shrimp and snail tank (mainly breeding and feeding)
and we have 2 55g tanks, 1 which is mine, working on getting it planted (my 1st DIY is gonna be retro'ing my Canopies with Edison CFL's) This tank contains 1 10" Pleco, 2 8" Bala's, 2 2" Green Spotted Puffers, 2 4" Clown Loachs, 2 4" Black Ghost Knifes, and 2 6" Peacock eels. (This tank will become somthing else lil later on cause i'm planning on a 200+g for these species...or maybe some of them and rest staying not sure)
My Wives 55g is a slightly brackish..Well LFS says isn't brackish is just slightly heavily salted (shrugs) she keeps mainly inverts. 3 RC Crabs, 1 Crawfish, amd 2 bamboo shrimp, and 2 pictus cats, as well as my sons 4 Zebra Danios, 2 Tiger barbs, amd for a short time my 4 Convict Cichlids.
as you can see what started with just somthing to amuse my 3yos fish fixation has become my obession.
Getting more and more into it to help me relax learning or trying to learn to aquascape and make beautiful tanks with happy fish, My fish are happy..but tank isn't so great looking yet. but i will get there...LOADS of great info on this site
