Fatfish Posted April 16, 2002 Report Share Posted April 16, 2002 Hey everyone! I totally agree with the other person that some flyers or advertising wouldn't go amiss, as I had no idea that you guys were here!! I had been visiting some of the more popular American sites, which were good but very confusing as commen names differ so greatly between countries! (some of you may have noticed my Siamese Algae eater/black line flying fox dilemma!!!!) (all sorted out now thanks!!) I feel slightly down the fishy food chain here cos' I keep the humble goldfish!! (and not even fancy ones at that!!!) I have had fish for about 6 years now. I have a 180L tank with a variey of plump and healthy goldfish. I don't really go for the very fancy ones or ones with big eyes or huge tails, just plain healthy, very active and bright goldfish, that I can sit in my lounge and enjoy! I'm quite into 'aquascaping' using natural materials, but with a funky and contemporary look - I've even painted a few of my own backgrounds cos' most of the ones on the market are so ordinary looking! I must say that I have been tempted of late to set up a tropical tank with my old (slightly smaller) tank - but I'll definately get back to you all before I do!! I have only just recently moved to Auckland (with fish in tow!) and had been having some dilemmas about the best retailers here - thanks to everyone who suggested places! Anyway, just a quick Hullo, nice to meet you all! Fatfish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted June 9, 2002 Report Share Posted June 9, 2002 Welcome Chris. My husband and I were in Hamilton last week - and it was sunny! Last time we were there we couldn't see the city for the fog Nothing wrong with those of you who have goldfish as opposed to tropical. One day (I have been saying this for almost 20 years) I will have a pond in my front garden for some goldfish. Spread the good word about this site please. May I suggest you contact the Waikato Aquarium club and join up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted June 11, 2002 Report Share Posted June 11, 2002 The next meeting for Waikato Aquarium Society is Sunday 7th July, at Pukete Community House/Preschool, on Pukete Rd.

Disneyworld Posted July 29, 2002 Report Share Posted July 29, 2002 I got into tropical fish because I bought a house with a goldfish pond (years ago). I became totally hooked, and one thing led to another Nothing wrong with goldfish, they have loads of character, but who know, you might go tropical one day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn Posted July 30, 2002 Report Share Posted July 30, 2002 Nothing wrong with goldfish, they have loads of character, but who know, you might go tropical one day Hi Disneyworld Not sure if you were replying to me or not - if so yes I've definately gone tropical too! One tank with 5 tiger barbs, 5 green tiger barbs & 5 golden barbs. And yesterday I bought yet another tank for more.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
