Hi its Aaron here. Ive been a member here for a while but never got around to introducing myself. I had a 15 year lay off keeping fish and then decided to pull out the old five footer from the dusty shearing shed. The hood and stand were made from old jarrah floorboards from an old farm house wreck that my father helped me to build. Since bringing that old tank back to life it ignited a passion/obsession that is a little hard to keep under control. Currently I have 2x 2foot tanks housing electric yellow fry and albino bristlenose breeding pair. I have a 4x2x2 footer housing some kipilli frontosa, synodontis petricola, lelupi and alto gold heads. the five footer is home to the electric yellows and I have recently got oliver to build me a 7x2.5x2 tank. This new tank is going into my shop, the Dumbleyung Roadhouse. It will be situated in the middle of the shop and should help the customers kill some time while waiting for there meals etc. I hope to put the Tangs in this tank , I will post pics up when the tank gets set up. I have enjoyed all the advice on the forum as I consider myself a beginner in keeping fish after such an absence from keeping fish.
Thanks
Aaron

Welcome Azza, post up some pics of the tank in your shop once it's up!

 

What's the water like out there - do you need to treat it much to keep Africans?

Welcome Azza,
I went to school with a young fella from Dumbleyung a years back. I'm sure you would know him, makes himself very known.
Can't wait for the pics. It will be a bit of a change from average wheat belt roadhouse

[azza74]

Thanks for the warm welcome folks.
Those little 2 footers are great thanks Jason,
Cawdor, the waters ph is around 8.2, and I have bought some eco complete African cichlid substrate (zac black) from one of our sponsors so hopefully I should be okay.
Just gotta finish treating the stand so hopefully get some pics up after the longweekend.
Androo I am curious about your Dumbleyung contact??

[TheTexasCichlidMasacre]

maybe Azza isn't hanging around with people 14 years younger then himself atm?  98% of blokes in the wheatbelt if you ask them if they know someone and tell them a fullname they'll be like no idea never heard of him... and then all of a sudden speak of the devil in walks the person you were talking about and the other bloke yells out T-BONE ya ugly mug and you are like wth dude thats the guy i was just talking about and the other one would be like wth your real names Winston????

Heave Down a steak quicker then any metro sexual eagles supporter  

[Peckoltia]

Trust a dockers fan to brag about their 'meat' gobbling prowess!

[Westie]

Ha ha gold!

[azza74]

Im always happy to eat a salad whilst watching the dockers smash the eagles.

Chicken wings go well with it also, chew em up and spit out the bones!!! lol

[Peckoltia]

The Dockers are lucky they are the only team that get to play in two grand finals a year... I mean derbies.

[azza74]

hahaha, yes that's all weve had to get excited about, but times are changing and its been a long time coming. Must admit though I''m happy when the eagles beat an eastern state team so im not completely one eyed.

[waxy]

Are you one of the dockers fans that HATED Ross Lyon last year and now love him?
