Hiya fellow PC's

My name's Henry. All my life I had difficulty keeping fish, even goldy's which is quite amusing really. This year I started reading up, learnt about the ammonia/nitrate/nitrite cycle hehe and now have owned a 2ft, 60L with 7 danio's to start with 1 year ago. 3 passed away during cycle but the surviving 4 are still with me in my new 3 footer - 130L =)

My 2ft


I have started with (excuse the common names):
- 4 danios (1 zebra, 3 pinky's) (3cm, 1 year)



- 1 silver shark or something like that (6cm)
- 1 bristlenose catfish (11cm)
Got these with the purchase of my 3 ft.

- 6 Neon tetras
- 2 Clown loaches (Cleaned up the Malaysian trumpet snail invasion)
2 weeks ago

They all seem happy atm =D

I'm also starting a pico tank as a present for my girl. Very new to planting, Going to give it a go!

My pico (1 day)


The forums have been my encylopedia! Everything I need to know is on here.
Great forum guys, love it and can't wait to learn more

Cheers

Henry

Hi Henry. Welcome to the forums. I am glad you are having success this time. I think you hit the nail on the head when you said that this time you did some research before starting. This can be an enjoyabkle part of the hobby and can identify problems before they reach your tanks.

Good luck with them and remember there are a number of very good fish shops around where the staff are a great help and you can always check here to if you have any problems.

Thanks Tony

I have had great help at Malaga and Morley aquarium atm.

Future plans are to setup a planted tank in my 3 ft/upgrade to 4 or 6ft and have lots of schooling fish + catfishes Love my neons, B/n and Loaches atm, heck I love them all =D And add some kind of shrimp species to the pico.

So much too read on this forum. Great info!

Nice little setup you got there

haha thanks. It's pretty big to me but yes I've seen a few large setups and would love to get a larger tank or more. But I haven't got space. I'm sure that's the case for a lot of the fish lovers out there
