I started out with probably the most basic tank. Goldfish. About 20 litres or something (I upgraded them to a bigger tank when I actually started to do research).

My latest tank is probably one of the most difficult types to keep. A reef tank.

It has taken me about 5 years to get to this and 5 new tanks Very Happy

I have had a lot of different types of tanks -goldfish, coldwater, tropical freshwater community, lake malawi, oscars, various cichlids, yabbies with some fish from the local river, FOWLR, reef tank, along with the breeding, hospital and quantine tanks.

Wow goin down memorie lane... Hmmm lets see, the first fish tank I was allowed to oversee in my house was when I was 15 or so. It was a 50 gallon tank ( was my brothers he tried salt water but prooved to much at the time for him to handle ) I had the usual fish from the LFS, tiger barbs, rosie barbs, redtail shark, bala shark, tinfiols. Tank went OK for a year or so till I wanted big fish. Got me a 2" arrowanna that grew to about 15"! Also got a paroon shark that was 4" and grew to 11". Tank was cool to me, had these guys for 3 years, they had some tank mates too, my 3 tinfoils were over 6 inches, 2 bala sharks that were 8"+ and a pleco. Sad to say they all died from a heatwave, couldn't figure how to keep the water cool Crying or Very sad

Now I have a 30gal tank with live plants, dwarf gouramis (4) pair of apistogramma cacatuoides (male is tripple red) , clown loaches (4) burmise border loaches(2) balloon rams (2) angelicus catfish, albino rainbow shark also have a 20 gallon with 3 angle fish
I also have a great LFS guy that is educating me as well as this site on how to keep my fish happy! Very Happy
