Michaelt Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 Glad I finally signed up, slacker on my part. But, I'll put it down to getting busy (in an appropriate way that is) with my inherited 130L tank, which has evolved into an addiction that a counsellor would be proud of. Went from a couple of tetras, to a couple of discus (more on the way), angels, cardinals, neons, plattys, a betta (rip), silver sharks etc. clearly my spatial skills are rubbish, so ive just brought a 400L that's I'm slowly setting up, will be an ongoing work in progress as the budget permits, but I am guessing some of my current fishy friends will be doubly wet at the thought of a new, bigger and more spacious residence. Anyways, enough rambling, look forward to your words of wisdom, and sharing some fishy tales. (is it me or is that something terribly Freudian in this)? :fshi: I'll upload some photos when I figure out that bit. Cheers to ya Michael Ps. Does any else live around here with fish, it looks like there used to be a few plus a club of some sort, but appears its gone fins up?

Caryl Posted March 27, 2014 Report Share Posted March 27, 2014 welcome. Yes there used to be a really active group in the Wairarapa but, like many, it has fallen by the wayside with people seeming to lose interest in face to face meetings You will find a lot of people in the area do keep fish though. You just have to mention you have them and you will be surprised how many others then say they have too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michaelt Posted March 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2014 Hey all, thank you for your kind greetings, and a little bit of history about the fish keepers around here. And welcome Geoff, how are you finding the rapa so far? A quick question, has any bought from exotic aquatics off trademe? I was meant to meet him today in town to pick up some fish, but I found I'd given him the wrong contact number (bad iPhone keyboard)... If anyone happens to have a contact number I'd appreciate it. Geoff, what's in your collection? Michael Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joG Posted April 27, 2014 Report Share Posted April 27, 2014 Welcome aboard. I have kept fish for years and used to belong to the Wirarapa Fish club. I held the position as President, Editor, and Secretary of the club over the years. Stoped going to meetings when I moved out to the country and my hours of work changed. Nice to know there are still keen fishkeepers in the area. Maybe we should try and set something up so we can help others in the area.
