January 24, 20179 yr comment_570374 Hi all, nice to see that NZ has a healthy online population of fish enthusiasts! I kept tropical fish in my teenage years and due to health, have recently had to switch to some less active hobbies. I decided it was time to get back into a bit of fish keeping. So far I have 5 tanks, 54 to 95l. I have a 240l ready to be set up as well. I mainly have guppies at this stage to get me going again. I'm aiming to create a stable strain from the mixture of fish I have picked up so far. Just keeping fish isn't enough for me so I'll be breeding fish as part of it (or trying to!). Currently I have swordtail, corydoras, bristlenose and kribensis. I'm planning to get some rams, tetras and dwarf gourami once my big tank is established. I'm also big on aquascaping and plant cultivation, so am always on the hunt for new plants and ideas for my tanks. I have learnt very much over the last few months and have much more to learn. Thanks for letting me in, I look forward to being part of the community here Report
January 24, 20179 yr comment_570377 Welcome. We hope you enjoy it here and get all the help or advice you need. I have been clearing out a lot of plants from my own tank as the fish were needing machetes to get through! There is a lot of red rotala, Java moss and C affinis to spare. Report
January 24, 20179 yr Author comment_570379 Thanks for the welcomes! Caryl - I would be keen to get my hands on some rotala and crypto. Let me know what you would like for them I've added a couple of pics of my tanks. Still much plant growth needed! Report
January 24, 20179 yr comment_570380 Welcome! I'm sure you will find these forums invaluable I certainly have! Tanks are looking good. What type of rocks are those in the second picture? Report

What type of rocks are those in the second picture? I think it's a greywacke, from a darker vein. I spend a bit of time looking around for wood and rocks, these came from the south coast in Wellington Report
January 25, 20179 yr comment_570387 Welcome to the forum! Stunning looking tanks so far. Enjoy the setting up of your new one. Report
