nebs Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 HI everyone I am new hear and thought I better introduce myself. I live in Wollongong NSW Australia and have kept fish for about 12yrs now. I love all kinds of fish but do have a soft spot for Paradise Fish actually more than a soft spot I just love them. I currently have 3 tanks a 190 litre with 4 male paradise fish, 2 silver sharks, 1 sailfin mollie, Black knife ghost fish and a 4 male guppies. The other tanks in the house have goldfish in one and Paradise fish in the other and of course the good old emergency tank for isolation. I am starting to finally get enough courage to start a marine tank soon something I have always wanted to do. My kids are currenly asking for a Puffer fish also so I guess I will look into that soon also. Friends call me crazy saying I am obsessed with my fish but hey once you start it is a very hard thing to give up. The one thing I have learnt over the years it doesnt matter how much you know there is always something new to learn. I currently have one of my male Paradise fish in my big tank that has come down with a mysterious illness no body has ever seen anything like it before he has been sick for about 1mth now. I will be posting a topic in the disease section very soon so keep an eye out for it I will list my website which is solely dedicated to him at the moment with pics of him from the onset to the currently day even if you are not involved in tropicals take a look and see if you have ever seen anything like it before and can maybe point me in the right direction. It is great to finally find a site that is a little bit closer to home.........CYA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
