Ras Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 I'm Ras, I am newish to fish keeping, having been doing it only 6 months now (not counting the goldfish tank I had as a kid), but have learned alot from forums and books. I currently have a planted 63 litre community tank stocked with 6 tetra and 2 GBA's, with a pair of A. cacatuoides due in around about a week. Running with a standard Juwel 15w T8 light and internal filter and a JAGER heater. Oh, I also have a good ole AR-380 as a Quarantine/Hospital tank. My wish is to get a BIGGER set up with some Africans when I have more money and house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Hello Ras 8) EDIT: If you get a big tank, go planted not africans. You won't regret it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynnie Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Welcome to th forums Ras. :bounce: Fish keeping is very rewarding what ever you deciede. Have a good look around before you make up your mind. as many options are out there. If you decied on a fish look it up on internet before you buy to make sure the fish you want to purchase will fit into your new set up. ie- temperment, water conditions, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ras Posted January 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Cheers for the welcomes. One of each does sound better than one maybe even three and then I can have an oscar in one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos & Siran Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 G'day mate, be careful bro, this is how it all starts, one tank leads to another, then another, it all gets out of hand after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jennifer Posted January 28, 2010 Report Share Posted January 28, 2010 Welcome. You live in one of the best places in the country for good water so the fish keeping world is your oyster (or shrimp, or seahorse or whatever you want). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted January 29, 2010 Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Hiya Ras, check out the MAC trip to ChCh thread under the FNZAS club section. Our club in Marlborough is heading to ChCh tomorrow to do a crawl around the shops, and a private home tank or three. Perhaps you would like to meet up with us at some point and join in. There is also going to be a BBQ at DonnaM's place (she has mowed the lawn especially) so you would also get to meet some fellow local fishkeepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ras Posted January 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2010 Cheers for the offer Caryl, will pass this time though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
