Hi, I am new to the site, but not to fishkeeping. My name is Kristin. I am a 21 year old college student in Nursing School to get my Bachelor's degree (only 1.5 more years!) I have been keeping fish 3 years now, but I've learned so much in that amount of time and have accumulated many more tanks. I'm still learning though and love planning out new tanks.
I still live at home (school is close) and I have 4 tanks setup currently. I have 2 planted tanks, a 55g and a 29g, a 55g African Malawi tank, and a 10g QT/hospital that houses my new Crowntail betta, until his 3g gets planted.
My 29g and 55g planted tanks are communities that house an angelfish (55), tetras, rasboras, bolivian ram, bristlenose, cories, loaches, cherry barbs and otos. The 55g Malawi is home to Yellow Labs, Snow white Socolofis, Eureka peacocks, and my favs, Cynotilapia afra cobue (in my avatar). I have a group of each. They are still mostly juveniles and I will be sending some to a fellow fish keeper after the new year, to lighten my bioload.
I have too many fish tank plans in my head and will be setting up a 38g high tech planted community, hopefully in the next couple months, with pressurized CO2. Also, will be planting a 3g nano tank for my CT betta. Planted tanks are really my passion, but I'm starting to love Cichlids as well. I want to eventually setup a 20g long shell dweller tank, with a Multi colony.
And in the future, after I graduate and have my own house, I want to upgrade my Malawians to atleast a 125g tank.
I have a serious case of MTS.
Other pets include 2 dogs, a Sheltie and a Beagle. And thats my long, drawn out introduction!
