[Finally getting started]

What's going to be your first tank!?  Congrats, and keep us posted!

[Excited to be here!]

Thanks @Atitagain It does mean more tanks lol. I'm setting up a 10 gallon QT right now, and have a 40 breeder, and 20 high purchased. Not sure the plan for those yet but, they were cheap on black Friday.

[Bacopa Caroliniana dying]

Hey Jakub, It's no guarantee, but I would try to plant all the stems a bit apart from one another. if the bottom parts are already dead, I'd cut that off, and plant the healthy part back into the substrate. the only thing after that is patients unfortunately. I've had this issue before, and thought they were goners, but no matter how bad they look, as long as you see green, there's a chance. don't give up on them!

[How did you get into the hobby?]

As Far back as I can remember, I always had two feeder goldfish in a 3 gallon fishbowl. The bowl with the two flat sides. There was blue gravel, a couple of happy meal toys, and a fake plant. No matter how many times the fish may have been replaced... they were always called Larry and Balki after some TV sitcom my mom liked. When, I was around 10, I was gifted a used 29 gallon. I started with Tetras, and the basics, and as the years went by, I got into Cichlids. I would ride my bike to the nearest pet shop, buy what I could afford, and ride them back home hooked on the handle bars! LoL In high school, I found this guy on the internet called Uaru Joey, and his website was the best! (no Youtube yet.) I would spend hours studying different kinds of fish. I remember my Mom telling me "If you'd spend half the effort on your school work as you do looking at fish stuff..............."  Anyway, the rest was history. Great question!! It was really enjoyable to look back and remember all of these things.  Haven't though about it in years. 🙂

[Borneo Biotope Urgent Help Please]

Hello, I would look into Cryptocoryne. I'm not sure exactly what species is from Borneo, but I know a lot comes from the Malaysian region. It's a really cool plant with a ton of different colors and sizes. Sorry that I can't offer more help.

my 75 is the only tank I currently have running. Just recently changed jobs, and will have a lot more time and energy for the hobby.
