hello

[Midas]

Hello everyone out there. I am a PhD student at Massey University and I am currently in the middle of writing my thesis in food engineering. Like Benny I have also been keeping fish for about 3 yrs. Started off with goldfish and seemed to have grown from there. Currently my wife and I have four tanks in operation, a 2ft, 2.5ft, 3ft and a 4ft tanks, all fresh water. We used to have a fifth tank with 2 sea horses, but after having them for a year they died last month for some reason unkown to me. The fish in my other tanks are:

2ft: 2x 4" goldfish

2.5ft: 4x female convict cichlids (from 1" to 3")

3ft:

1x 7" snakeskin gourami

1x 5.5" moonlight gourami

1x 4.5" golden 3 spot gourami

1x 7" BGK

1x 3.5" green severum

2x 3" Keyhole cichlids

2x bristle nose (M 4", juv 2")

1x borneo sucker (gastromyzon spp.)

1x 3" Kuhli loach (visable for about 5mins every 2 weeks)

2x 2" golden pencil fish

1x 2" bronze cat

1x 2.5" upside down cat

1x 3.5" angel fish

4ft:

1x 7" Midas cichlid

4x male convict cichlids (2"-4")

1x 3" Jag cichlid

1x 3" Jack dempsey

1x 3" Texas

Have plans to acquire (build/buy) an 8ft x3ft wide x 2ft high tank in the near future. Just have to make sure it doesn't go through the floor!

Hope someone found all this interesting.

Cheers

I found it interesting, as I am sure that many others on here will.

Welcome to the fishrooms, and I hope you enjoy your time here and also take part in the name that fish quiz in the "Fun" forum.

In regards to building your own tank, there are a few interesting articles on here that you may want to read. Everyone on here is always willing to help if you have any questions.

So again enjoy the site.
