Aquarium Advice Apprentice
I've been pretty amazed. I started my first tank just two months ago and with the sole exception of a pleco that I introduced way too early, everything has gone pretty well. Ok, the pleco and the algae problem I still have! My clown loaches have increased in size and seem so happy! My golden nugget pleco is all over the place. Today, I added a (single for now) discus and a couple golden rams.
Some of the fish I've aquired have a reputation for being difficult to keep, yet they all seem happy and healthy. I've done fewer water changes than it seems some do, yet everything tests wonderfully. Although perhaps it's the plants that help.
So here's my question... Is it really that difficult to keep these guys? Am I just too new here to have experienced all the problems that folks keep mentioning? Or is our group base here just so large that every possible problem has been experienced? I hate to jinx myself by asking/saying this, but I have had way more fun than problems!
Are there others out there like me? Usually we only report and ask about our problems, so are there really good success stories? Just wondering....
