puddles Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hey, My name is Helen. I have recently moved down to Upper Hutt and just getting into the Tropical fish scene. We have a couple of 4 ft tanks already with Firemouths, Neons, Angels and Plecos. An Oscar is the fish i am interested in and hopefully we get one in the near future *fingers crossed* I have met a few of ya before with Jono and our visits around the place and hope to get to know a few more. Look forward to talking with ya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jude Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hiya Helen and welcome - theres an ever-growing group of fishkeepers in UH. You don't know spidersweb do you? :lol: :lol: :lol: Cheers Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puddles Posted August 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 Hey jude and Mystic, Thanks for the welcome! SpidersWeb is my boyfriend and with the growing number of fish tanks in our house (3 turned into 5 last weekend) thought i would have a go at it too. I personally dont know much about fish, only what i have learnt in the past couple of months from reading posts on here and Jono sharing his knowledge. Oh and we got Gold Severums and Algae eaters too. Getting quite a lil collection we are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caryl Posted August 4, 2006 Report Share Posted August 4, 2006 I remember him mentioning a Helen too - and we suspected he was sharing the same Helen with wok in Auckland He assures us he isn't (as far as he knows anyway). :lol: Welcome.

puddles Posted August 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Hey caper, Yes MTS indeed! I have just purchased a Oscar today and along with it yet another tank! puddles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpidersWeb Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 and...... since our current 'oscar tank' is only 210L, next weekend we will be purchasing a larger 300L tank for him, leaving a spare 210L :lol: We're going to need more Jebo's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted August 6, 2006 Report Share Posted August 6, 2006 congrats you two! a 300L for one oscar (and even a pair of FM's if you would like to put a pair in there ) is a great size, once hes hit 10" youll see why they need all that room :lol: invest in heater guards for your heaters in his tank also (only a few bucks each), while most oscars are ok you get the few nutters (like mine) who go nuts at nightime or just be their usual clumsy selves and can crack them with not so nice things following that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
