Hi, I have just joined this group. My husband and I have had fish for many years (was more my husbands domain), but like many others in Christchurch, our 2 tanks with a lot of fish were destroyed in the 2011 earthquake. Just before Xmas I thought things were finally settled to restart back up. Our intention was to have 1 medium size tank with some community fish. 2 months later we now have a 180 litre tank, 150 litre tank and a 45 litre tank with lots of community freshwater fish. This time I am taking a lot more interest in them and enjoying it, I hope to learn a little about the plant growing side of it and breeding the fish, eventually with the aim maybe later in the year of getting a large tank with divided areas to enable us to have more pure line guppies of different varieties. In our biggest tank we have guppies, endlers, swordtails, cat fish, & baby bristle nose; in medium tank we blue mosgow guppies (black looking), a redtail shark, 2 swordtails, a cat fish and a large albino bristlenose; our little tank has baby moscoes plus lots of other random baby guppies from our snake skin female guppy (which are to little to young still to see how they are going to turn out).
