I was a member here for a long time, and after what felt like a ridiculously long two years I'm getting back into the hobby! I'm setting up just a ten gallon tank for now. I've got all my supplies ready, I'll be leak testing (since the tank has been a a basement for a few months), and then...

He's so beautiful! I'm jealous :P   How many tanks do you have to have to be an official member of the MTS club? :lol:

Bolivian rams are great! I've had two males for a little over a year :)     A lot of people do buy 6 and let them pair up, because I've heard they can be picky about breeding partners, then rehome the other four.  If you want really good quality fish for breeding you might want to go ahead and...

I normally pick a theme like Meeresstille suggested. I named all my fish after Vampires in TV shows, Movies, and Books for a while, but I ran out of ideas.  I currently name all my Plecos earth-related names I guess you could say?  I had Muddy, and now I have Pebble, and Everest (after the...

I was jealous of all the great pictures on here so I went and practiced taking pictures of my fish :shifty:   Thor my smaller Bolivian Ram:     Everest my bigger Albino BN Pleco:   One of my Glowlight Tetras.  This is the best picture I've ever taken of a Tetra :D (Please note Thor creeping in...

750 gallons mix black and white sand, a bit of tan gravel around the side and back edges. Heavily planted, with lots of driftwood and rocks.  Slate caves.   1 Black Ghost Knifefish 1 Blue-eyed Pleco 2-6 Angelfish 50 mix of black and white skirt Tetras 30 Rummynose Tetras 1 Red-tailed Shark 30...

That's true! I'm just paranoid that I'll want to take a break from fish, and so I've been afraid to get any fish that live 10+ years.  Oh well! I'll deal with that if it happens (not likely, but who knows.)   I'd love to have a few different varieties.  I wonder how the fish in the tank I plan...

I just read this from beginning to end, again.  Love the tank, you help inspired the design I'm going to use in my 65 gallon :)

My favorite fish are Bettas, and Plecos, so not always huge in size but huge in personality! :D I've honestly gotten bored with my Tetras, though they can be cool to watch school mine normally don't.  

That's true, but doesn't make it less sad... :(   I have looked into it with bigger fish before, but I figured because the BNs are so small they wouldn't live very long... Oops.  I did research lifespans of all the fish I have now after posting this, and I agree that it's not easily available or...

Thanks! I hope so too, I'll definitely post it here if I do.   That is the sad truth... People just don't care enough about fish...   Thanks :D

I'd never considered lifespan because I just assumed that most of the fish I wanted would live under 10 years, and that I'd take care of them their whole lives no matter what.  So much for under 10 years, but the second part stands, it doesn't matter how long they live I'll be taking as good...

I can deal with one-eyed BNs, but they won't be living with the knife after that! :P   I want some more color variations.  If this keeps up I'm going to have a BN farm in my bedroom... :D

Sweet.  Alrighty Kia, you messed with the wrong hobby!   Edit: How's this sound for an angry letter?   KIA:   I find your new commercial “Fish” to be extremely sad, and offensive.  To have the misconceived notion that Goldfish can be kept in bowls no bigger than what you'd mix a cake in is...

Sounds like a good angry letter.  Mind if I alter it a bit and really send it? :) If we can get enough people to send it they might actually have to consider taking it down everywhere for good.
