I gotta chime in here too. When I first came onto this site I had 2 Oscars and a JD in a 55g, I was the definition of noob. I had no idea what I was doing, I just knew the fish were cool and ate a ton.
Since then I have totally revamped my 55g (living in apartments, 55 is hard enough to move around for now!). I never would have known the difference if I hadn't stumbled across this site. I still sometimes feel like I am asking dumb questions, but I never feel like people look down on me or criticize me for not knowing something.
Now I have a few peacock cichilids a jewel (and 2 labs growing out till my g/f sets up her tank) and I am just loving it. I am in the process of redecorating the tank to make it more natural for the fish. They are growing quickly and looking beautiful.
I enjoy just browsing the site, you never know what thread you are going to stumble across and I have found so many incredible projects that inspire me to hopefully be able to have such a beautiful tank/ponds/fish room haha my interest grows everyday!
So thanks to everyone on here...
