Hello Chris Thanks for the welcome, how long have you had the discus for? I have only had mine for about a week and they still seem quite surprised and a bit scared each time they see me. Mark

Hello Goldie Thank you for the welcome, it amazes me how much of a community this is. When I signed up I certainly did not realise how much people are getting around, meeting other fishy people and looking at their setups. It is all very impressive and I do hope to get more involved later. Pegasus One step at a time is certainly the way of it, currently am making a small trolley with wooden blocks for the wee man (he can only roll over one way so far but planning ahead I am sure he will enjoy it one day) Next project is the stands. Fish tanks certainly do multiply, recently had four with Angel fish, Rams, Platies, Pleco, Neon Tetras and some other Tetras. But all bar one have been sold as I started this project, No doubt the numbers will slowly creep up again. Mark

Thank you for the welcomes Caryl - good information about the local fish club, I had been wondering if there was one. Still life is full enough at the moment, between new fish, newish baby, six month old puppy, and one night a week at the local polytech for woodworking. Perhaps once I get some of the overdue jobs out of the way Pegasus - nice to hear from you, as a matter of interest it was through your website that I found this fishroom. I will try to give updates on the tanks as I go but will take some time, the stands are first and they are currently some large pieces of Rimu that are full of nails (ex roof joists) Mark

Hello As a brand new user I thought an introduction might be an idea. My name is Mark, I live in Port Chalmers Dunedin and work as an Electrician for a Company called Alstom. I am married with a wife who tolerates my fish and a 4 month old baby boy who amazes and delights me. As for fish, I currently have a four foot tank that after selling my old fish, I am starting to convert to discus (need many more plants etc), also have cut glass for 2 more that are higher and wider, but as always waiting on time and resources
