bharanan Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hi all, My name is Barney, I live in Pakuranga, Auckland. I thought I should introduce myself as not to be rude to everyone and jump into the forums. Anyways I have just started fishkeeping, but have had my dad keep fish for a very long time. Goldfish mainly. Now I got a 5 footer of my own. I initially had some comets and a black moor. Then decided to go with Oscars. I had 2 baby tiger Oscars and one albino oscar. Then I fell in love with Arowanas. I put him in the tank with the oscars, but they were terrorising the aro. So I took out the Oscars and put them in Dad's tank. I thought that the Aro was a bit lonely so I went out and bought another aro. I was told that it is very rare for 2 Aros to be in one tank.....well its been more than a month now and they seem to be getting along fine!! no fighting for food or territory......I will have to move to a bigger tank eventually and was wandering if anyone here knows someone who can make tanks. I am looking at probably an 8 x 3 x 3 footer. I have read the forums and to my knowledge Greg is the man to talk to....so greg please Contact me if you read this......I will post some pipcs of my tank and Aros soon.... Thanks Barney Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucid Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Hey barney and welcome, Great to see you have started large with your tanks. Plenty of information to be had and plenty more to be extracted. If you want to get in touch with greg he uses tanks2u as his user name here also and you can send him a private message, rather than hoping he reads this section and contacts you.

Caryl Posted November 17, 2005 Report Share Posted November 17, 2005 Welcome barney and good luck with the aros. Many fish don't show aggression much until they grow some then - watch out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
