Hey All

Just saying hi

I am known on most east coast forums, and a few of the locals here have seen me in various forums, such as Tropheus fanatics..or ACE

Hope I can help out.


Mick

Thansk all

Michael you over exaggerate lol, king....not quite...But working on it, when I have 10 colonies I will think about it. wink.gif

Darryl thanks for the help, been trying to remember the old password must have been something obscure..And thne again it has been 5 years since my first post lol...

Az...nothing like a repressed skaty turned to fish lol, love the bones pic, Still got an original hawk in the cupboard with a few bones brigade stickers on it!

as for pics, the link in my sig links to the main album mostly older stuff, there is a sub album labelled Tanganyikan pics, that has all new pics taken with the new camera.. but if there is something you would like to see more of let me know i need more practice.

Cheers steve

tweo reasons for wanting to be here.

Its a natural progression all the east coast forums die after 10pm and I am a night owl.

You guys have a lot of interesting things over here that are not redily available on the east coast, seems to be lots of tang nuts here as well, so more people will understand my perversion, lol


I have gone Tropheus nuts but once I get a house and shed< i will double teh big tanks, get some more Ts, but mostly get back into sandies, foai, ventralis, xenos etc, awsome fish...

Currently I have 5 full Tropheus colonies, only a few Katonga left, they are something that needs to be aquired in large numbers, some are regular breeders.
Have bristlenoses as a staple LFS supply and bread and butter job,
Finally got some cuckoo fry, so this should improve now my hosts are getting busy.
Leleupi, (sporadically), daffodils, Trets, and finally sexies breeding, brevis are rabbits, as are the multies

Tropheus are hard to take pics of because they are differnt depending on how the light hits them, and they are crazy active aswell, going to get a light box made up, so hopefully get som every nice pics soon.

I went with a mate about 4 years ago, to some ramps, without thinking I just up and dropped in on an 8 foort ramp, it went well, too nervous to try anything to fun, so limited it to turns, and a few tail taps, and even a truck grind, which nearly worked, for the next week I could hardly walk my shin muscles were mega sore!

I have a nephew who likes skating so might talke the old boards out an see if I can be one of those 35 year old dads in hospital lol
