| Advice: |
Plan carefully before buying the first tank.
Don't start with livebearers, or you'll end up with tens of them, leaving no space for future aquisitions.
It's better to underfeed, than overfeed.
You should have a smaller spare tank to use as an hospital or quarantine aquarium |

"Smokey" the dominant Oscar in my Aquarium |
| Quote: |
Being a gentleman means treating others, especially women, in a respectful manner, and not taking advantage or pushing others into doing things they choose not to do. |
| About Yourself: |
I grew up in the harsh Central Australian Deserts and was fascinated by the idea that animals actually lived in water. After starting with Goldfish I quickly progressed to Australian Natives and got involved in native fish conservation and captive breeding. After a stint as president of the South Australian Native Fish Association I move on to managing the Southern Eyre Marine Farm. I now work for the Government in an unrelated field and keep an Amazon theme display tank in my home. |
| Advice: |
Invest in Ammonia, Nitrite and Nitrate test kits and use them regularly.
Give your fish plenty of space!!!
