Lyn1 Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Hi Everyone It is great to have found a NZ fish keeping group!!!!!. I have a 140ltr tank and it has been running for about nine months now. I really have had my share of ups and downs with it, PH has been a big one and I am so looking forward to being an active member of this group and learning to provide my fish with top notch accomadations LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatBrat Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Welcome to the site Lyn1 What sort of fish do you keep in your tank? Cheers, CatBrat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn1 Posted April 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Hi Alan, went to chat but @x is the only logged in member and they are not chatting LOL!!!!!. Catbrat I have Angels, Neons, Mollys, Guppies, A catfish of some description (funny how as a nurse I have no trouble remebering generic names of drugs but give me some of the fish names and I am lost!!!!!!) Ahhhhh I also have two peculiar fish that look like kissing guoamies (spelling) but are very stumpy in the body, and a shark!!!!!!. Always thought that Guppies would be the easiest fish in the world to keep but I keep getting runs of white spot and fin rot with them......From reading the posts it sounds as though I am not doing the treatments for long enough. Only carriying them out for four days using the Malkon...........Oh yeah nearly forgot I also have a very unusual fish that looks soooooooo like a goldfish but is tropical sorry I have no idea what it is called. Thanks for the welcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lyn1 Posted April 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Another question :-? how do you guys get stars under your name????? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatBrat Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Hi again, Nice bunch of fish there. Does this look like your strange fish? Its a Golden Barb.

Lyn1 Posted April 23, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 No this is not it, I am shocking when it comes to remembering the names of fish........It is a lovely coppery/bronze colour and about the shape of the Fantail goldfish, has a black spot at the begining of his tail area, most people who spot him ask me why I have a goldfish in with tropicals LOL..........Next time I go into the fishshop I will ask for the name of it again, My son Lucas loves it as we started out with Golfish and he misses his black fantails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 Hi Lyn, goldfish can take water warmth the same as tropicals, although it does shorten their life apparently. Those kissers are prolly wot they call Balloon Kissing Gouramis. Chat-room? We was there but there was a couple of footy games on too. We are normally in there about 9.00 most evenings. Stars? Post like heck, answer questions and ask them. Guess the Name of the Fish, and try the Word Association. All these help towards your stars.
