Title: Hello
Post by: dino on October 10, 2014, 01:29:37 PM

Hi,  :wave:

Ive been lurking about the forum for a few weeks now and thought it time i introduced myself.
Im Dino, i used to keep tropicals back in the day (25 ish) years ago and after promising myself a new tank for the last 15 years ive finally got round to it :)
My tank is a rio 125, u3 fluval internal, white sand, bog, slate heavily planted, unsure of what im going to stock fish wise, but it will be a fairly standard community tank........ i think   :-\
Im 3 weeks into a fish free cycle by adding ammonia, this is the first time ive done a cycle fish free, i dont seem to remember anyone doing it like this back in the day!  :isay:
As a side note, i used to breed bettas all be it a long time ago, so if anyone has any questions regarding  bettas then just ask, who knows.. as an old codger i may be of some use on here after all !   :isay:

Kind Regards,

Dino.   :)

Mmmm...I was thinking that very thing earlier, Col. Perhaps, he's gone to get his 'Old Codger' card renewed...or maybe even, his warrant card :rotfl:

Hi Dino :wave:

Welcome to the forum!
You may well get asked some betta questions, as there are a few folk on here who have them, (my dear old betta, Rafe, is sadly no longer with me.)
It seems to be a bit of a hot potato on the forum at the minute, how people feel about them. If we were all the same though, I guess we wouldn't need assorted biccies, would we? :fishy1:
