Triplefin Posted July 10, 2007 Report Share Posted July 10, 2007 Hi, I am new to AFNZ (surprised? )! I'm 25, male and fairly new to keeping fish (though I have a masters in Marine Biology!) I have two aquariums - a small one ~30litre with a breeding pair of Kribensis, and a largish 135l Sunsun, with 2 Angels, 8 Neons, 4 Rummy nose Tetras, 4 Serpae Tetras and a couple of spotted catfish (at least I think thats what they are - note that my masters is in Marine biology . Having some problems with the lights on my SunSun aquarium at mo, so anyone who might be able to halp, would love you to check my thread in the tech forum ("SunSun Lighting Problem"). Cheers!

I have a very new son though at the mo (he's just 13 days old), so my social life is somewhat limited! Do you meet monthly? Is there some place I can get some info about joining etc?

The avatar is a favourite picture I took of a Christmas Tree worm in Moorea (little island next to Tahiti in French Polynesia). I spent two and a half months in Moorea while I was working on my masters doing some of my own research (on a species of wrasse called Thalassoma amblycephalum) as well as carrying out some of my supervisors research there (on Thalassoma hardwicke). While I have freshwater tropicals, I am a marine biologist at heart! But hey, any fish are better than no fish! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
