Tropical fish anyone?

Yea, not much trouble to keep, they eat anything that hits the tank, especially goldfish....

i have a 30 gallon tropical fish tank and a 100 gallon saltwater tank. In my 30 gallon tank I have platies and mollies mostly and they do have babies. You need to do a 10% water change every wk so your fish won't die. The nitrates from the urine and their output is what kills them. Do a 20% water change every 4 wks. My 100 gallon saltwater tank I call it my ocean lol. I have Nemo,2 damselfish, 2 chromis, 1 dwarf angelfish, 1 yellow eyed tang, 1 scooter blenny and 1 cardinalfish. Sorry no fish pics..they are very shy and hide! They are all 2 yrs old now and about 2-3 inches in size. I also have 3 corals-2 soft leather and 1 that came with the live rock that looks like that flourescent nickelodeon green slime from the 80s rofl. it takes 6 mths at least to establish your ph levels so only stock with damselfish at first because they are the hardiest and the cheapest fish to buy in case they don't make it. let the tank sit 1 mth running filters and equipment only before adding fish. the levels will fluctuate hugely in the first 4 wks and your'e likely to lose all fish. If you get ick its a stress reaction of the fish...they are low immunity and can get very sick from it. I use biozyme and it works about 75% of the time to get rid of the worms and its natural not a chemical :) You can get it at Petco. they also make it for freshwater fish to.
 
I have had a few tanks in the past. I used to breed convict cichlids for fun but they were too aggressive to keep anything else with them. I also bred bettas for a few years and they are pretty cool. I have always wanted to try breeding discus and angelfish. Maybe someday.
