Orange Leleupi & Clown Loach |
| Quote: |
One is never enough.... |
| About Yourself: |
I got into the hobby originally because my old man had an empty tank built into the wall when he bought this new house, which had a painting covering it up. I eventually convinced him it was a good idea to put some fish in it as long as i looked after it....
This wasn't too long ago - maybe November 2007 - since then i've swapped so many different fish with mate of mine, i cant keep up! But i think i've settled with these lil Fronts - good looking lil suckers =)
I have 2 tanks - the smaller 90ltr and a larger 150ltr (the one in the wall - although it LOOKS larger than 150ltrs when looking at the 90 next to it - although measurements and aquarium calculators tell me otherwise)
The larger tank houses 7x clown loaches, 1x Sailfin Pleco and 2x red devils - a male and a female =) |
| Advice: |
Don't be lazy or impatient? I'm new too! -lol- |
| Fish Kept: |
5x Burundi Frontosa
1x Sailfin Pleco
20-Odd Neon Tetras |

*Fluval 205 Canister Filter - Standard sponges and (Bottom to top) *Purigen & Carbon *Matrix *Fluval Noodles (i think that's right - was 2 weeks ago now... only just installed it -lol-)

Turbo, the 4 yr old fancy goldfish. |
| About Yourself: |
Ever since i was very little i always loved looking at fishtanks i was always drawn to them, then when i was seven a friend of the famley gave us a 5 gal tank with a lone old angelfish, he died shortly after and my mom brought home a new fish, it was a jackdampsey no biger then 6 cm. we named her jacko, we didnt know how big she would get so she very soon outgrew the 5 gal tank so my dad built a 30 gal. for her she lived in that tank with us happily gobbleing up flys and worms and fishfood for 10 years at a length or approx. 8 in. she is what got my hooked on fish, i then had to get my own fish and thats when i got turbo, hes my 4 yr old ranchu goldfish i got him at wamart and he was labeld as a lions head, i was still at my parents at the time i got him and since then ive moved 6 times and he has came with me everwheres i go, hes the most cute lil fish ive ever seen and hes so chubby hes about 3-4 in. now, i moved turbo and a lone pleco into the house a ear ago and since then we have got so many new fish, i now have my boyfriend into the whole fish thing, so we adpted our two oscars and bought a new tank becase he loves african cichlids and the large vase we have has a betta in it he was one of the first fish we got together, since then the tanks keep getting bigger and we get more fish its a really fun thing to do as a couple watching them and feeding them and getting new aquarium gear, but yeah i will post a bunch of pics up on here of all my fishies. |
| Advice: |
give your fish just as much love an attention as you would anyther pet, learn as much as you can about water quality and the types of fish you want to keep to make sure your prepared. |

| About Yourself: |
ive gone thru several different setups and still have yet to decide what to do with my most recent. i had a pirahna setup with 8 piranhas about 7 inches each, than i decided to go with lake malawi cichlids and oscars, and now ive fallen in love with african peacocks and am still trying to see what to do with the decorations in my tank to best match their colors and needs. |
| Advice: |
filtration and lighting makes all the difference in the world. keep your tank clean and filtered at all times and chose a light best suiting ur tank setup and fish. |

| Advice: |
Where to start.
#1 - I can't stress how important this is! RESEARCH your fish before you buy them! Don't go to the store, and say, oooh, that's pretty! and throw it in your tank without knowing what it eats, what type of water conditions it needs, how big it gets, how aggressive it is, what it can be kept with, etc!
#2 - kind of like #1 - Make sure your fish aren't too big for your tank. And I don't mean when you buy them at the store, all of 1" big; I mean a year from then when they're over a foot. For example: that pretty little oscar in the store is a baby, you cannot keep it in anything less than a 55gal tank, by itself, when it gets bigger. |
| Fish Kept: |
All fish listed in this tank. I also have 7 other tanks, which together house:
1 11" male Midas cichlid
1 9" male Midas cichlid
1 4" female Flowerhorn cichlid
11 Convict cichlids
1 Green Severum cichlid
1 Gold Severum
1 Firemouth cichlid
12 Mbweca afra cichlids
1 Greshakei cichlid
1 Albino Greshakei
5 goldfish
2 male Bettas
About a million baby Labs and Lumbilas |
