I found the site in a Google search when I tried to find out why my 1st ever cichlids were dying after buying them from Trade Me and some poor information given from the trader.

I found the forum and trawled through it taking in all the information I could and then joined when I had more questions and realized this is a great place for very helpful and friendly information.

How were you introduced to the FNZAS site and forum?

Did you find it in an online search or were you referred to it by a member or friend?

And why did you join?

i found this site via google years ago

but never really tried to join as i only have a hotmail acc and they didnt allow it.

this time i decied to contact someone and wala i have a acc

I can't remember that long ago.

I found it after spending hours on google trying to figure out what was wrong with my discus, which i did from everyone helping me :thup:

i found it after googling which fish i should keep when i set up a tropical tank about 5 years ago

I was approached by the original creator of the site, Cees, and asked to be his guinea pig for an idea he had of making a place where people could help each other with their fish. He said it was called a forum and was the first time I had heard of such a thing. So, I was given the site and told to see if I could figure it out or break it. We played around with it for a couple of months, ironed out the bugs (Cees did, not me) then it went live with me as the first member :thup:

Can't remember but I can't seem to stay away...

I posted a wanted ad on trade me ( a big no no) and someone posted a reply to try asking here.

That was many moons ago, and after a long time of lurking I decided to join.

Google i think... or maybe the nz fishkeepers site.

I can't quite remember. :roll:

Was suggested to have a look here by a guy at a lfs

I found this site on google first, but signed up to fishkeepers first. Mostly due to the private email addresses only for signup thing.

I was googling what tail types of bettas we had in nz and their breeders :thup:

Ditto :thup:

I was googling and found it. I just looked up my first post and found I was asking about others' fish compatibility experience. Livingart came on and welcomed me and I said 'thanks Fishroom' because I thought his name was his avatar :rotf: what a noob haha
