Hi, I am a Canadian who is living here in NZ. Married my lovely wife that I met on the internet back in 97. She wanted to experience a "white Xmas" (only seen it on T.V.) so I brought her, my step daughter and our little baby girl (6 months) to Canada (montreal) for Xmas with my parents in Dec 98. Ended up staying there for 2 years. Then we returned to NZ in early 2001. I think NZ is a beautiful country and even better when I don't have to shovel snow to go to work. I am 41 yrs old and have a stepdaughter 16 , a stepson 14, and a daughter who is 5 yrs old. (She started surfing the net when she was 3...she is a brain(god help me). Wanna know more just ask
Well getting on with why I registered here just a few moments ago, I was given a 2 ft aquarium a month ago, and now I have ordered a 4 ft one, I'm addicted. I have been touring all the pet shops getting advice about what I need (moderately priced of course for now) and most of the shops say different things...Wish I truely knew what I really need to start off, undergravel, internal, ...external (which is too expensive for me at this present time)...heating...what kind of gravel should I use, planted aquarium substrate...silversand, fertilizers and so one...is there any place on the net that I can research my options and have faith in what was being said. I don't want to kill any of my future fish or waste my money on misguided help. I have searched some places on the net and there too it is not always the same info for the same question. I am hoping I can get better guidance from knowledgeable people here. I am also interested in breeding fish in the future, but that will be in time, when I my confidence increases.
Looking forward to hearing from the members of The Fishroom
