jaimec Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 hi all relatively still new here to NZ and quite new FNZAS- i like reading the posted stuff to familiarise myself with fish keeping here in NZ. i've got myself two tanks- a 38L one for the kids and a 100L which i envision to be a planted tank. prior to our moving here, i'm pleased to share that i've had my fair share of exotic fishes growing up and i doubt i can share that experience with my kids here as MAF will not allow the importation of such fish into NZ and setting up a tank here is quite expensive. thankfully because of FNZAS i've managed to pick up a few pointers and save a bit of money. i hope to one day share photos of our tanks here. cheers jaime To name the fishes I've kept: Aba Aba Knifefish Alligator Garfish Tiger Shovelnosed Catfish Silver Arowanas Birchirs Oscars Siamese Tiger Fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted September 16, 2010 Report Share Posted September 16, 2010 Welcome Jaime. You might find fish keeping a bit frustrating in NZ after keeping them elsewhere :-? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaimec Posted September 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2010 thanks for the warm welcome guys. @ samH | yip it's the night crew for me- kids are fast asleep and having some alone time. 8) @ caryl | yes it is frustrating and quite expensive. i had a thing for carnivores growing up and it became a father and son thing between myself and my dad. he'd always come home with a bag of frogs or carps to feed the fish. and if they outgrew their tanks we'd just set them loose in the lagoon by our farm. i'm looking at starting a planted tank with my 100L one- always been fascinated by them but was too costly back then. i hope to learn and pick up things from you guys here. cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
