Hello @Derrick , and welcome to the forum.  :wave:

It'd great to have someone from South Africa join us.
Please tell us more about your tank. What fish do you have? We'd also love to see some pictures.  ;D
There are a lot of very experienced keepers here on the forum, so between us we should be able to help with any issues, and answer any questions that you have.
I've been keeping fish for around 3 years, and still consider myself quite new. I'm still learning too, and sometimes it can be a bit of a roller coaster ride of emotions, though I've become quite addicted.  :rotfl:

Welcome, @Derrick - indeed, great to have a fishkeeper from South Africa among us.  :wave:

Fishkeeping is a continuous learning situation, even for those of us with several decades' experience, but the advantage of a forum is how much can be learned from the wealth of collective experience and exchange of ideas, so we look forward to hearing more from you and having you on board.

Welcome to ThinkFish!

We'd love to see some photos of your tanks! What species do you keep, and do you have it planted? What are your goals?

I visited South Africa a few years ago and massively enjoyed my time there... such amazing landscapes and wildlife you have!

I also noticed that the hobby seemed fairly popular... I ate in a couple of places that had fish tanks in them.
