Fish Lovers Unite

[GrunkleLogic]

So I can't possibly be the only person that has a passion for fish. I have two boys, Soos (an orange veil~tail betta) and Casimir (a crown~tail betta). Both are very smart and I am getting both of them bigger tanks next month with everything they need. Now I am just learning how to cycle a tank, and it's not as hard as it sounds though I can understand how difficult it can be for people. It's a little intimidating and the idea of one of your beloved fish going not-so-sunny-side-up is incredibly scary.

For those of you, like me, that are new to the hobby here's a guy that can really help you and who doesn't freak his viewers out:

He's calm, informative and a great listen.

That being said, onto the discussion!

What kind of fish do you have?
What's your set up?
Saltwater, Freshwater, both?
Plants?
Names of fish?
Gravel or sand?​

I have a probably common as muck goldfish called Carl that I won at a fair back in 2014. He has a twenty liter, freshwater tank to himself that has a filter and an air stone in it. There are a few plants acquired from my neighbors pond in their as well as a few decorations for him to swim around. I use a fairly fine gravel as my substrate.
