Hey everyone,
My name is Kevin and I'm not only new to this forum but new to fish keeping in general. I've always loved the idea of having a fish tank especially a planted one... there's just something so relaxing about having fish and plants inside the comforts of your own home. I started just this past summer with a 10 gallon non-planted with 4 Flathead/mosquito minnows, 2 Cory cats and a baby green sunfish, and a 5 gallon planted with a small molted sculpin, tadpole, 2 really small baby blue gill and a white albino pleco. I just recently cycled and upgraded to a 40 gallon breeder currently not planted with plans to plant, which I have 2 blue gill, 2 green sunfish, crayfish, as well as, a pleco. So far im loving it and learning more and more every day. I get alot of my knowledge and motivation from people on youtube like Dustin from dustinsfishtanks and a few others. I hope joining this forum will help me grow and learn more about the hobby. Any advice is always welcome.

Cheers
