Tanksman Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I have been looking at this site for some time and have finally got registered. I have "too many tanks" (not my description - Im perfectly happy ) I have a 4 footer and another 2 150 litres, another 2 be 100 litres and a few 25 - 40 litre jobs. I love cichlids and are busy stocking up on the ones I can get. Im also keen on plants so my choices are generally limited to fish that won't give them to much grief. I have only been into fish this year - I got the bug while I was trying to help my sister save her goldfish from dieing. I used to think it was cruel to keep fish in a tank - I still do but its fine so long as the tanks not too small and the keeper can be bothered doing everything they can to keep the fish happy and healthy. I've learned heaps but still need to know heaps more. Its great that we can all join in here and share and learn off each other - I already know a few of you and look forward to meeting others.

Shelley Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Hi Tanksman and welcome...You certainly have the bug with that many tanks. Maybe you could devote a couple of tanks to just plants to grow your own and keep your fish-populated tanks plentiful in plants. I never get sick of hearing what other people are doing with their tanks . I am sure you will find lots of useful information here and the best part is we all get to contribute ....have fun.

Faran Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Yer, you never feel like an addict as long as everyone is using I've been back into fishkeeping again for a whole month and already up to 4 tanks. Two big 3ft+ tanks with cabinets and everything (thanks TradeMe) and two smaller tanks... and still don't see that big of a problem after going to other members and seeing 20+ tanks (many 500 liters and up). So, welcome and glad to have you aboard! Lots of avid cichlid keepers around, so you'll have plenty of homes for your babies.... just don't try and charge LFS (local fish shop) prices Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
