Hello all

I love fish of all forms, favourite ones are the red cap orandas and the lionheads goldfish.

I have a 6' marine tank setup, filled with Royal Gramma (2), Royal Tangs (2), Clown fish, Moorish Idol (1), some butterflies and about 7-15 blood shrimps (they hide and have been breeding from 3 I originally bought)

Have 2 small tanks recently bought that houses cherry shrimps and crystal shrimps
- cherries been breeding, crystal have not

Have 3 ponds out in the backyard one filled with kois and the other two with goldfish (one adult the other a breeding pond)

And finally one 3' tank with 3 red caps orandas

It's not the most expensive hobby I have undertaken by it is fairly close...


Anyway cheers to all

Getting some discus, never ventured so boldly into what's reputed to be one of the fussiest and difficult fish to maintain, heard once you get them going, and keep the water in top quality and get them to eat then you're laughing.

Sorry for the late reply was out on a project. I am an auditor so I travel a lot to the countryside. Will upload pics when I have time

Just an update, getting more CRSs and my marine tank had it, seems while I was away the filters weren't working, probably a power surged and most of the fish and shrimps died or is dying.... *sob sob* This is the second time that's happened. Dunno if I still wanna continue after this. Probably would concentrate on my red caps, kois and FW shrimps.

That's a damn shame. I suppose leaving any tank unattended for an extended period of time could spell disaster, marines being one of the most sensitive doesn't help. I lost a handful of tangs which cost me about $450+ due to ich a few months back.

Again? man, think you have no luck with marines

Was going to come tomorrow night to the meeting, but... something important came up... actually two somethings and it is a once a year thingy...

In another note, I think I might start a small tank with only live rocks and harlequin shrimps, anyone knows how much are they now? 5 years ago they were about $500 each........ :x
