Fish Fanatic
I just joined up cuz a friend of mine said this place is the best.
I kept fish as a kid sadly it was three goldfish in a 2 gallon bowl with no filtration or plants so they understandably lived a very short life and although I tried a few more times as a kid I never learned what I was doing wrong until I got back into the hobby this June when I set up a 10 gallon tank that someone had given us and then I started reading on forums and rapidly became addicted and now I have a 10 gallon, 20 gallon, 30 gallon, and 55 gallon and I will be soon picking up another tank with fish in it that I believe is about 30 gallons. I've got eight zebra danios, some ghost shrimp and lots of baby mystery snails in the 30 gallon tank along with lots of anubias and a couple of different swords, in the 20 gallon I have a kuhli loach, a mystery snail and some guppies I don't know the exact number because it changes too quickly and fry is hard to count, in the 55 gallon I currently have lots of microfauna which I got out of a local lake, ghost shrimp, and about a hundred mystery snail babies which I'm trying to give away the majority of, and I haven't decided exactly what fish I'm going to put in it but I want to move the Kuhli loach to that tank and I've been thinking about ember tetras but I'm not sure if anybody locally has them anyway and I'm not really wanting to order fish by mail. Once I get the 55 gallon tank fully established and stable for a good amount of time with lots of microfauna and plants and algae I want to get a one or two clams. I'm contemplating going diving in the lake and finding one that way because I've seen shells that are close to 6 in so we've got some big ones here but I might just end up buying an Asian clam from the fish store.

Please feel free to post some pictures of your tanks! They sound very interesting.
Too bad we live so far away from each other.
