Im Tania, 27, from Invercargill
by the way this forum looks great spent ages browsing last night
and have been keeping fish on and off for 7+ years at one stage I kept a large tank of goldfish a med one of Trops and a large outdoor pond for goldfish breeding, I gave up fish about 2 years ago when I went overseas for about a year but upon returning I started up again about 10 months ago when I managed to get my hands on a cheap aqua one AR620 and have got back into golds (my fish of choice)
I dont keep any specific breeds of goldfish I look for fish with personality when buying thus I have a tank full of funny fish who im sure dont think they are fish lol my partner and I have actually been training them and they have picked up on a couple of cute we tricks .... so entertaining
I am currently looking at upgrading my tank to an AR850 or AR980 if and when funds allow so it will happen one day but just when I dont know atm my babys have space so they are happy even though as a fish lover of course like most of you when it comes to tanks the bigger the better hehe so patience game atm hehe
anyway atm my tank is set up in a black theme to make the colours in the fish pop so a black sand base a black background and it makes the live plants and fish look stunning also matches the decor which helps lol
