Thanks for having me

I love the aquarium hobby. I've almost always had 29 gal tanks and have had great success and fun for over 30 years. My favorite combination of fishes are 2 fairly aggressive cichlids (kind of fond of Firemouths), at least 4 Tiber barbs, a couple of Kuhli loaches, a couple of catfish, and a plecostomus. This seems to be a tried and trued combination. I did have a major setback recently when my heater stuck on and killed all my fish (Two gorgeous Convicts ) except for my Plecostomus (it's over 15 years old- quite resilient). So I've started again. I've had a terrible time keeping Tiger Barbs - never had a problem before. My new Firemouths are spooked since I did a 1/2 change out of my water. I actually came here to read anything that helps me maintain this tank.
