Mitchnz Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 I've recently stumbled onto this forum and just love it. I've drooled over the photo's of fish - especially the guppies and the tanks. I've kept tropical fish for about 8 years but due to a terrible leak I lost my fish and filter over a year ago and only just managed to get a new setup. Not very interesting at the moment. I'm just sitting watching the water running through the filter. I love natural looking tanks with lots of plants. Guppies are my favourite and I've been known to watch a female for hours waiting for them to give birth. I just about fainted when I went looking for plants at the local store - $16 for one java fern. Guess I'm just going to have to wait a while before my tank looks well planted.

Caryl Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Hi and welcome. I suggest you join a local fish club. They are a great source of cheap (free) fish and plants to buy or swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted September 28, 2005 Report Share Posted September 28, 2005 Welcome aboard Michelle I too have spent hours watching a female, in fact three of them give birth. My darling and now our two daughters. Oh by the way, I have watched the livebearing female fish also. Several breeds of them in fact.
