So I just randomly stumbled across this forum from a craigslist ad. lol
Kinda wish I knew about this earlier, but I am hoping to read a ton on here and find some quality breeders/shops in the area!
I'm fairly new to fish and still have quite a bit to learn. My gf and I got a hand-me-down 12 gal hex from her family, and I started browsing for what we could put in it. Saltwater seemed a bit over my head, so I chose freshwater. We started with some glofish danios and guppies. As of now, we have them rehomed to a 10 gallon long (they love the horizontal room to dart around) with 2 snails and 2 ghost shrimp.
I'm using the 12 gal hex as a QT tank, and I have a 55 gal display tank that we just set up. I wanted discus, but on a student budget they seemed to be insanely expensive and finding a good breeder that would cut me a deal on shipping was near impossible.
As of now, my 55 gal is holding a school of 10 x-ray tetra, 2 juvy angels (marble black and a more platinum striped guy), 2 cockatoo cichlids (one reg apisto gramma and one agassizi), an unknown pleco, and 2 japanese clear shrimp.
I'm looking to add a gold nugget pleco, a double dark angel (if I can find one!), and a couple gouramis if space/bioload permits.
Either way, there's my lengthy intro, and hello everyone! I look forward to asking 20 ?s and getting to chat with you all!
