Pegasus Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Welcome to the NZ Fishroom Banaro, Lots of variations in the Cichlids.. and most of them have been talked about here, so you should find a great deal of reading on the subject. Lots of members from your area also, so you may be able to pick a tank... along with siome fish, up locally. Look forward to your posts. Bill.

shiuh Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 welcome banaro. well, we sure a getting more and more aquaria addicts here in wellington!!! :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Welcome banaro, I hear there is a pretty good club down that way. Why not try and get in touch with them, a lot of their members are on here too, and I'm sure a face to face meeting with them would be an advantage to you when you jump off the cliff into a new lifestyle. By the way, that's one of the most comprehensive intros I have seen here. Saves asking a lota questions. Alan 104 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kookie Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Welcome to the addiction from another in Wainuiomata. One tank will never be enough hehe. I got back yesterday from a round trip to Hamilton to pick up my second tank, a 450 litre one. I'm sure it's around 5ft in length. Yeeeeeeeeaaaaahhhhh. I can't wait to start setting it up and filling it with fish, and I'm hoping some cichlids too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peanuts Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 Hi Gem,as you can see the forum is a friendly place.. i have the perfect 4ft tank for you as well but its not like you are just down the road. i'm sure TM will help mark he saw your tanks and username monaro, but as you said you are just a tad too far for him to get a system.
