Hi,
My name is mcshell.
I've started keeping fish ~2.5 years ago. I started off with something called "aqua babies", and that "system" is just a little container which claims they have the full biological cycle (with 3 tiny fish -- didn't even know what they are, 1 snail and 1 stem of plant). Of course, they didn't turn out livnig too well and they eventually died :(
Then, I got my first 1 gallon tank with a mini filter. Things become better! I got 2 danios, 2 cherry barbs and 2 neon tetras. The more I looked at them, the more I love them! (and the more fish I want to keep).
Last year october, I got my first 10 gallon! I started to breed guppies with my ten gallon (oh boy, the guppies just grew too fast and expand their population too quickly!) Not long after that, I found the 10 gallon is too small (again!)
So, I got my 55 gal 2 months ago. So currently, here's what I have:

55 gal:
~ 10 guppies
2 danios
3 platies
3 cardinal tetras
2 neon tetras
4 cherry barbs
3 rummy nose tetras
2 female betta (one just become a mother recently!)
3 angels
3 mix fruit tetras

10 gal ( i got a divider to slit that up into two 5 gal tanks)
one side: Casper (my male betta) and a bunch of eggs :)
the other side: ~14 platy frys, ~17 guppy fries and a breeding tank with a platy mom

cheers! *celebrate

Thanks Angelfish! (please don't eat my neons!)

My 3 angels are still babies -- ~ 1 inch in diameters
where as my neons are now ~ 1 inch long (incl tail)
When the angels do get bigger, I may move the neons away.

Just wondering, why angels only eat neons but not cardinal?
