Peter McLeod Posted May 3, 2010 Report Share Posted May 3, 2010 Does anyone have some reasonable guppies they are willing to sell. Need to start using the fishroom I have built. Don't have to be perfect just workable. Am also interested in helping people build and get fishrooms working. Just for something to do, have had too much spare time available lately and am keen to meet some of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter McLeod Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 Cheers for the offer sunrise001 Have found a few fish I can use for the time being. Very nice H/B Pastel Guppy Avatar One of my personal favourite guppy strains The closest I have come to owning a strain like that are H/B yellows If you ever see any available let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zayne Posted May 12, 2010 Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 have you got any photos of your fish room? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter McLeod Posted May 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2010 No photos. Could get some. Basically just a small 1.5 X 2.1 metre garden shed I have insulated with polystyrene and non-treeted plywood for the walls and then painted with oil based paint. Very easy to do. Small 500 watt heater with a thermistat is more than enough. Had tested it last winter and the power bill seemed to be cheaper than having 4 tanks with 100w heaters in them. The idea was that it would be outside and would need to be waterproof, but if you wanted to separate a portion of your normal garage It could be done even cheaper. Polystyrene sheets are cheap and fence rails are cheap and good for framing. The non-treated plywood is also cheap but you can always ask your local building supliers for packing sheets that they will either give you or just charge a small donation for their social funds. Also ask them about the pallets they throw away or give to people for fire wood. They are usually non-treated andeasy to pull apart and use for shelving and framing. You can also check out Recyclers e.t.c. for stuff. I do things as cheaply as posible, no shame in being tight when your already on a tight budget.
