Hello Dee, and welcome to the forum. Why don't you tell us a bit about the tank and fish you have.... and perhaps even post up a photo. We love photos on here!

Hi All

I have just come back to fishkeeping after a 35 year or so gap. Starting up with a rather large tank and my first 7 fish - rummy nosed tetras (see attachments). I have now retired from a career in NHS laboratories and am an avid bird or maybe better to say nature watcher/amateur photographer now adding this hobby to join these other interests. In my teens to late 20's I kept a community tank with a main interest in breeding swordtails though I also successfully bred Siamese fighters then as well.It seems to have become much more scientific than I remember from then though I was probably testing the water then as well.
Anyway joining forum to pick up on all I have forgotten and hopefully enjoy aquarium again.

Hi all, I have just registered so thought I would introduce myself  :)
Having kept goldfish as a kid I had always wanted a tropical tank and finally got one a month ago yeay!
I am looking forward to getting advice on everything as I now know that I know nothing, there is soooo much to learn and I'm now glad I'm an avid reader.  :fishy1:

Hi All  :wave:
Joined the site several months ago, but only just getting round to posting.

Fairly new to fish keeping, having set up my first Tank in January. I have a 125l tank, stocked with 5 orange finned danios, 6 cardinals, 5 cherry barbs, 2 yoyo loach (rescued from a way too small 30l tank which we were given) and 5 panda corydoras.  I spend far too much time just sitting and watching the fish swim about, it's more interesting than anything on TV most of the time TBH!
I also have a 30l tank that we were given, it came totally over stocked and was in pretty poor state, it was a wonder that the fish were alive! It currently has 3 pygmy corydoras and 1 penguin tetra, inherited with the tank. The smaller tank is my sons really and it is the intention, eventually to stock if with Galaxy Rasboras.

Looking forward to exchanges tips etc with you all

Jilly x

Hi Jilly pud the tanks sound very nice and I love the look of Galaxy rasboras! But they are too small for my tank.

Thanks all for comments and the welcome.
I am really pleased with tank as is my wife from a furniture viewpoint but she is rapidly becoming interested in the fish as well. Linda would like to get 'red' fish so have been looking at platies as next addition as the bog wood desperately needs some algae eaters. Colin I noticed you have 5 clown loach a friend suggested I get 2 but when I put it into 'my tank' on the site it suggested they were too big for this tank and to be kept with the rummy's. What do you think?
Thanks
Tom

Hello Chuckie and Jilly - good to have you around.

....and BMS, I don't have any clown loaches (there's another Colin on here - it may be him) but this site's profiles say 120cm tank for them.... they can get up to 20cm and they like to be in groups so they need room.
