Any Aquarium people around on the forum? I'm pretty non specific fish, lizards, frogs, etc? What do you have! Show us the setup!
This hobby hit me hard about a year ago. I was insanely bored and needed some form of mental stimulation a friend of mine who had been into the hobby for a year or two started dragging me to the local fish store. A deal on an awesome small tank came up I jumped at it and started off with a hand full of dwarf shrimp, a dwarf crayfish, and a couple plants. It was an awkward start but I am now up to a 30 gallon planted tank stocked with cherry shrimp, guppies, minnows, and an Australian Red Clawed Crayfish.
I'm curious to read what other people are stocking, keeping, breeding, growing, and caring for. Share away! and Post pictures!

I used to keep a fancy goldfish tank, but I haven't in years. I don't think I have any picture of it, if I do, it's in a box of old photos somewhere. I loved keeping it though and I love fancy goldfish, some of them are so weird and awesome!

I've kept tanks over the years. Mostly Freshwater tropical, but on one occasion I ventured into Salt.... Never doing salt again, way to fidgety.
At the moment, the tanks are dry though. I don't have the room at the moment for my tanks to be set up and to care for them as there are way too many people living in this house.
My favorite tank was a Amazonian themed tank. 100g tank planted with just Amazon Swords and Grass. Six Otocinclus macrospilus handled the algae perfectly, five Symphysodon aequifasciatus (Blue Discus) for serene beauty, and a score of Paracheirodon axelrodi (Cardinal tetras) for flash and color. I got the idea from a tank I saw at the National Zoo years ago in their rainforest exhibit. They had a school of cardinals over 300 strong... it was entrancing.

Saltwater here. Working on a stand build now for a 40 Breeder with sump. Planning on setting up several so my nems and coral have their own tanks.
Had 13 tanks a while back (75 gal reef, several 55's, 46 bow seahorse and assorted macro tanks). Shut them down to get out of the hobby for a bit. Started back up a few months ago and already need more tanks for all of the inhabitants I intend to keep.

I miss keeping fish, I think we might get a tank when we move again.

I'm thinking a tank full of Guppies to start and then move up to South American Cichlids.
Both of which I used to breed.
