Ghost Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 My daughter (Jess) and myself share this account. Jess is the fish fanatic, but insists I find the answers to all her questions, from how to attach java moss to a log, to where she left her shoes *typical teenager* :roll: She has a mixed tropical tank, and has recently bought a second one to raise a few (million!) guppies in. Much to the disgust of her father, who already despairs about how many power sockets are currently taken up by fish equipment. It's like he can actually see the tanks sucking up electricity :lol: I don't really know how I found my way to this informative and friendly site, must have been a random Google fluke, but I am pleased that I did.

mustcooktea Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Welcome along! I am also here as a result of my children's fish tanks. Once we finally get moved and settled I might even get one of my own! MCT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billaney Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Hi Ghost Welcome to the site and hobby , if hubby thinks your two tanks suck the power bring him around my place and he will so happy you only have two tanks he might even buy you a third on the way home ...lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirkus Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 yeah i agree with Billaney! he would no doubt do the same if he saw my whole house, speaking as a person who managed to infect the rest of his family with fish lol. my sis has got a tank upstairs (180l) mam has got 350l known as an Austratangalawi setup aka mix up of malawis with tanganyikans and a few rainbow fish in there too shes also got goldfish on the kitchen windowsill with a trop tank next to it and ive got 7 tanks in my room (although im only allowed to keep 3 up and running plus the one with the giant african land snails in which i managed to persuade was a good idea hehe). and if you thought that was bad, there happens to be a 'lake' (bout 17foot by 6 by 3-4) in the back garden. this is what happens after 10 years of the fish virus (seems my family is quite susceptible, must be genetic...)lol.

AMAZONIAN Posted October 13, 2006 Report Share Posted October 13, 2006 Welcome aboard. It's good to see another new name and face in the forums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keri Anne Posted October 19, 2006 Report Share Posted October 19, 2006 Nice to meet you both. I hope you have fun up here and down at the show in Masterton. (KA mutters under her breath about stupid bosses whom can't see that a fish show is more important than one of the busiest weekends of the year.) Hope the plant gets home okay.
