Well uhh... Hi! My name is Miranda and I live in Long Island, Ny. I'm pretty new to the fish hobby, I've only been into it for the past 6 months. I started off with a 2.5g divided in 3 sections for Bettas. I only had one betta fish in it, but before I educated myself about fish I had planned to have 3 in that one tank. :X needless to say, Bettas started me into the hobby. I now have 4 tanks, no where near as impressive as some. It's only 3 (2 cycled) little 2.5s with my Bettas- The doctor, Zyff, and Pi. Then there's my 29g. Originally it was a SUCESSFUL betta harem (3 females, 1 male) and community tank up until my tank contracted Nematodes. :( since then broken down and disinfected my tank. Brand new substrate, decor , etc. I'm planning on going with Cichlids this time. My tank is finally cycled and ready for fish!

That's where this place comes in. :)

I have all sorts of plans for my tank, but I'm too new to the hobby I'm always looking for advice.

For example, I'm "adopting" a good 35 black convict fry from one of my managers at work. (I see that funny look you're giving your computer...) I don't plan on keeping /all/ of them. Max I want is 1-3 females and that's it. So, I was suckered into raising the fry and donating them to the store I work for once they grow out. -__-; anyway, once that's all said and done I desperately want my tank to flourish with life. I'm planning a rocky planted tank with smaller cichlids (maxing 6") that would be compatible to my convicts. :)

So, uhhhh... Yeah that's me and my fish! ^_^; hi!

Welcome to the forum! Lots of great people here! Are you planning to keep new world cichlids? Or old world?

Welcome! Many years ago, I started off with bettas too! Now I have 16 tanks running. MTS (multiple tank syndrome) can be caught very easily, lol.

Welcome! I eased my husband into my hobby with bettas, too. We now refer to them as "gateway" fish in our house!

I have no idea! Like I said, I'm still new to the hobby. I'm starting with black convicts, a lot I them... Once they grow to an inch I'm going to try rehoming them or something. I want to work about them. :)
