I am new to the site. I have been keeping fish for most of my life. My largest tanks are 20 gallons. I have have several smallers tanks for fish that like to live alone. I have really enjoyed the site so far and can't wait to get to know people!

Welcome to the site! What fish do have?

I have a 20 gallon community tank with guppies, neon tetras, dwarf frogs, ghost shrimp, and a female betta.
5 gallon mini bow with my favorite old blue betta in it
2.5 mini bow with a crown tailed betta
2.5 mini bow with a half moon betta
2.5 mini bow with cherry shrimp
5.5 gallon with a dwarf puffer
I keep ghost shrimp in all of my freshwater tanks to clean up extra food.
I also have a saltwater system that holds 27 gallons of water. The tank is 20 gallons. I have lots of inverts in it, 1 firefish goby, and 1 6 lined wrasse. I am planning on getting a pair of clown fish.

A betta lover I see.

Welcome to the site Sarah! There's a fellow betta enthusiast and member annericebowl (ARB) who also loves her shrimp but not to steal her thunder! (aka, not get into too much trouble LOL). Anyway, I keep mostly non-african cichlid tanks and really dig the plecos. I did have to break down and set up one tangyanikan tank because of an outrageously good deal on a few dozen fish. There are good folks here on this site (yes, even including the clunk-meister! ) Clunkster is our resident pleco/catfish expert. Mike Bovinet does the African cichlids (the bigger the better it seems for Mike--aka tons of Frontosa bruisers!) Gary (Melonhead) is our discus and angel enthusiast (although, I must admit I have leanings) ARB is, well, ARB! (heh, heh ) just kidding, she's our shrimp and plants enthusiast (although I have leanings in the plants area too). Hope you have fun and eventually get to meet everyone.
all the best

And as I hit enter I thought, what of all the other fine folks on here?!?! Please forgive me. I wouldn't dream of hurting someone's feelings by an act of omission... so long story longer... sorry.

Welcome. I am into african cichlids, mainly malawis and tanganyikans. My favorites (and most of what I have) are Aul. sp. "lwanda" peacocks, and altolamprologus species, mainly calvus. I have a couple other small groups of africans as well.

One thing I would say is to be careful about adding a pair of clownfish. I wanted to do the same with my small saltwater setup and was warned against it. I was told that even different species will kill each other. I know some people have done it, but it was too expensive of a risk for me!

Thanks for the advice!

I will take that as a compliment then

Glad to see you got your login straighetened out!

Welcome! As mpp said, I'm kind of a general freshwater guy - with heavy leanings toward south american cichlids. (Discus & angels) I'm currently breeding angels as well. Need a few hundred?

Glad you have you here!
