critter_crazy Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi all! No idea why it took me so long to come across this forum :facepalm: but I'm here now so all is well! I got my first tank (a 28L aqua one) only 6 months ago and have quickly become addicted to the hobby and upgraded several times already! Looking forward to learning heaps more and meeting everyone Also, for some reason I'm unable to view pictures on here, they just come up as small orange squares :tears: any ideas on fixing this?

blueether Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 Hi and welcome about the orange squares: Don't use internet explorer, try firefox, chrome or opera. if that is not an option you could try with javascript off, but that brings other problems... http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=52344&sid=9815605c49c69a3f3511fc7361e6071a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikBok Posted May 16, 2011 Report Share Posted May 16, 2011 welcome! I use firefox and have no probs with viewing pics. It's been a long time since I used IE.

Caryl Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Welcome. I too got the orange squares, thanks to the latest IE update. I changed to Chrome but didn't like it (although it worked) and am now using Firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joshlikesfish Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 I used to blow all my cash there Now use trademe :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 Anything I can't get of trademe I look for at hollywood or animates (the later being much much easier to get to). I can never resist if they have a particulary pretty betta or guppy in! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted May 17, 2011 Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 If you're a sucker for nice bettas, never go to Adriennes(user on this forum). Hers simply are the best !drool: :sml2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted May 17, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2011 yeah I've been looking at pics of hers !drool: I'd never seen colours other than red, blue and turquoise before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

critter_crazy Posted May 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2011 animates isn't cheap :an!gry I'd stick to HFF if i were you :roll: I would if I could, it's much funner to visit! But it's a bit out of the way for me. I buy all my equipment off the HFF website though, it often it works out to be even cheaper than trademe and their delivery is super quick!

critter_crazy Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Any pics of your tank? I just moved house on friday so the only stuff in my tanks at the moment is gravel and driftwood :facepalm: I'll take some when they arnt in such an embarassing state. Here's an old picture of my first ever tank though I got it at the begining of this year for my animal care course and I quickly became addicted to fish keeping from there.

GZ_Loach Posted May 21, 2011 Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Not bad for a first tank, I would recommend getting some dwarf cichlids - they are super cool and have a great personality Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
critter_crazy Posted May 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2011 Thanks for the advice I might look into them. I'm getting a third tank tomorrow and havent decided what I'm putting in there yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
