loginthesand Posted January 15, 2012 Report Share Posted January 15, 2012 hi guys, i was stung with the addiction about 4 years ao now and it as escalated ever since, i guess i should do a bit of a blurb of myself; im currently living in green bay Auckland but spend 2-3 days a week in matakana at my girlfeinds(shes mad on fish too, fortunatly) i have 3-4 tanks set up at the mo, my monster tank measuring 180x60wx78h approx 840L a juwel rio 125L with the only Amazon puffer to make it through quarantine about a yaer ago a small apisto breeder tank in my room and a hospital tank with two "mystus" cats growing up in it, they have recently come into the country and can be found at hollywood FF mt roskil. my girlfriend also has a rather large tank 210lx70wx55h approx 810L, and uses it as a huge planted/angel comunity tank. ill upload some photos of the tanks and various fish tonight once im home from summer school. im currently studying Aquaculture at AUT and this will be my last year, then i find a job and a house, not looking forward to the move with my fish tanks. im hoping to get a job with the mahurangi technical institute studying freshwater species, or as back ups, the ministry of fisheries working on quota management, or helping a a friend of mine that breeds goldfish around his farm. cheers Logan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danval Posted January 16, 2012 Report Share Posted January 16, 2012 I know what you mean with the Apistos. They can be very trying to say the least. Will look out for your progress with them. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
