    Hi everyone. I was recently shown the forums and liked what I saw so I signed right up!

    I'm new to the fish hobby. I bought a 90 gal tank from Animal Jungle in late Nov and set it up in December. My room-mate has a 30 gal tank that has 5 cichlids.

    My tank is setup as a Tropical community. It has the following fish in it:

    1x Rainbow Shark
    1x Black Shark
    4x Clown Loaches
    3x Cherry Barbs
    6x Tiger Barbs
    4x Harlequin Rasboras
    3x Skunk Botias
    2x Tiger Botias
    2x Orchid Botias
    2x Featherfin Cats
    1x Black Knife Ghostfish
    1x Tiger Pleco
    1x Royal Pleco
    1x Clown Pleco

    Yes I know the tank will be overcrowded when the fish grow into their adult size, but I'm constantly looking on Craigslist for another tank. I'm also looking for a sweet deal on a Saltwater Tank too. Bottom line is i'm hooked and wish I had unlimited funds so I could setup several other tanks! :)

    I look forward to meeting all of you, and I hope that I don't ask too many "noob" questions.

    Welcome DKW !!
    Pics of the tank would be great, and I'm trying to figure out what:
    2x Orchid Botias are?

    I'm pretty sure it's a type of loach.

    It's a real small black and white striped loach. Maybe 1" long. I'll get some pics tomorrow and post of them if they co-operate :)

    It's cloudy and I've been trying to fit it, slowly but surely it's a little better every few days.

    Sorry it blows the screen way outta proportion!
