Hi! I'm new to this forum, thought it'd be good to be involved in a community just incase anything goes wrong. I am a 15 year old fish enthusiast. I have had aquariums for just under 4 years, starting with a 5 gallon i bought with my own money when i turned eleven. At the same time, i had two reptiles, which turned to 10, and became 36 by my 14th birthday. I ran my own little reptile rescue and rehomed almost all of those reptiles. Around 3 years ago, i purchased a 29 gallon which i setup AND added fish the first day. I stocked it with an Oscar and a few african cichlids. I soon realized my mistake, and rehomed the fish. By this time, we were in quarantine and I didn't have much to do besides school. So, i decided to rescape the tank and added some guppies and gouramis. They lived happy for a while, but I stopped doing water changes and they died. I then ignored my tank for a year or so and focused on reptiles, and i have since left the reptile hobby due to not having any time to just be a teenager and decided to focus on fish. During the holidays, i started 5 new tanks and now have 6 tanks that all have fish and are fully cycled and stable. I have a blue dream colony, a cherry colony, along with around 15 guppies, 5 longfin leopard danios, a albino bristlenose, two kuhli loaches, and a lone cory (i don't know his species) I also have a pair of GBRs as well as 4 GBR juveniles. I hope to be able to share my experience and learn from others' experiences. I'm in South California and always looking for deals. Excited to be here!
