I have a freshwater 75 and 10 with live plants and just community type fish. Since I started my saltwater tank they don't get much attention anymore though!

My daughter use to have a 29 fresh in her room. Oops! It has migrated to my office and has live rock and plants and a goby. Now she has a little 15 gallon that has a few freshies. I thought that I was going to convert it to a salt mini but the darn fish WON"T DIE! I forget to feed them for a week at a time, Never change water, and they are currently having little bitty babies, AND NOONE IS EATING THE BABIES! Don't fish always eat little baby fish? It has a big pleco that needs a much larger home, a betta, 4 platies (I think), baby platies and 1 rouge guppy. Maybe a few albino cories (ugly little monsters). All those fish shoved into that little tank and they are still alive.

I will do fresh from time to time but after I have fed them all to the saltwater fish I shut it down. Unless you consider my 4000 gallon butterfly Koi pond a fresh water tank.

i will be adding fish to my baby terrapin tank mainly for food though, so does that count. if you want freshwater do cool exotics or cichlids if not you risk getting bored and turning it back into saltwater. also i've always liked those fw puffers.

I started in freshwater. I had the Africans, mostly the Malawi. I still have my 125 with some left over fresh water. I have a pair of Benthancromis
Tricotti's and some Featherfins. I need to find them a new home soon, as that is where my new 400 reef is going to go.
