Stephanie Posted October 27, 2009 Report Share Posted October 27, 2009 Just thought i'd introduce myself! I'm Steph, from Auckland, newbie tank owner. I have a couple of bristlenose, neons and a pair of blue rams and super excited about getting another tank in a couple of months when I manage to make room for it! Looking forward to learning more and seeing what everyone else keeps! Hopefully will pick up some good advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Welcome! what part of Auckland are you? I'm in Pakuranga. Haha yeah I think new tank will be happening super soon. I think I witnessed my partner roll his eyes at me yesterday when I was complaining that the fish needed more room. Obviously if you blame it on them "needing" a new tank and not me wanting one then it'll work. I'm a thinker. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie Posted October 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Oooh we have progress. I'm sitting at work looking at fish stuff trying to plan my next project and I get a txt about getting a new tank. I'm buzzing about like a little child. The excitement may just kill me.

Stephanie Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Three days...two months...all the same really. :lol: I can totally see how everyone else became addicted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 So what's this tank going to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I have no idea! I'm thinking just a big planted community tank could be pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Sounds like a plan! May I ask what are the dimensions of this aquarium? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephanie Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 It's the AR620. 62W x 38D x 53H cm. So twice the size of my first tank. With all the extra space I don't know what to do! I would love to have some aggressive fish but then I would like to transfer two bristlenose so they have more room and can breed when they're big enough. And i'd fancy some more neons or something similar because if it's planted lots of little fish look so much cooler than one or two big fish. And obviously my current fish come first. Maybe i'll move everyone in there when it's set up and keep my smaller tank for my pair of rams? Or buy another breeding pair of something? Convicts are looking like a good idea.
