Hello everyone

Thanks for having me on board. My name is Tim, and I'm an aquaholic  :wave:

I'm currently keeping and attempting to breed some freshwater fish, progress not too bad so far. Look forward to chatting with all of you!

Hi Tim, welcome to the forum  :wave:

We are very nosey on the forum - we are expecting details of all the tanks you have, what's in them, and photos  ;D

Ah, of course!

I just moved recently, so not a lot going on unfortunately. While I'm still finding my rhythm I decided to stick to some basic stuff. Mostly breeding setups, with some livebearers, cichlids, and catfish.

Lovely fish  :)

I can recognise the endler and molly, but what species is the egg guarding cichlid?

That's a Jewel Cichlid, Hemichromis bimaculatus. Though that particular batch of eggs are currently nearly 3 week old fry!

Hi Tim,

Good to have you with us. Please tell us a bit more about yourself and your fishkeeping interests. I'm also intrigued by your User Name - SalmonAfrica - would you care to elaborate? Any chance of some piccies of your Catfish? I have a Red Lizard (L010a) and s/he is an intriguing character!
