I am a fairly new aquarist. My wife and I started off with just a littel 10 gallon tank and a few neons and a frog. Then my mother in law gave us her 30 gallon and we upgraded all our equipment and had 10 neons 2 cory cats that mate like rabbits and a Albino cory cat (little lucy...fer), our frog and some rasboras. After about a year and alot of plecos dying (6) we learning little tricks and my brother in law gave us his 55 gallon and stand *celebrate. we love it. I have 8 of the 10 neons left, they are getting pretty old, our horny catfish finally had a baby survive the other fish eating the eggs and us taking everything out of the tank and cleaning twice without knowing about it. and we have added a angelfish, a pleco, a clown pleco, 3 "rainbow" fish my wife loved and a few other fish i forget at the moment. Our tank is almost self cleaning! our catfish eat the junk off the bottom, our plecos clean the glass and our plants absorb the bad chemicals. we have to change the filters about every 3-4 weeks just cuz of all the fish food and other junk and we add water every now and then plus the occasional gravel cleaning but i haven't cleaned our glass in 2-3 months and it is still clean, I have pics on my phone but i haven't had time to transfer them over. Once i do i will put some pics on and if i can a video or two.
