Hello,

I have kept fish since 2010 so I still consider myself as "small fry" in a big pond when it comes to fish keeping.

I have a 60l tank and included in the tank are;

Silver Shark
Neons
Guppies
Plecostumus

The guppies are a real treat and woah they bred like wildlife... which was good in one respect because I knew they were relaxed in their home. The plec seems to love everything from the glass to munching on the sand.

I love the fish as i think they are memorising to watch as they all seem content in finding their own way around but always seem to swim head first into the glass and wonder what is going on! But thats the beauty of watching them!

Thought I would introduce myself and say hello!

Happy fishing!

Chris

Hi Chris and welcome to the forum.

I have only been keeping fish since October last year, so you are way more experienced than me.

Hi Chris and welcome.

You're going to have problems with that silver shark, its going to grow far too big for your tank I'm afraid. What sort of plec do you own?

Hi Chris

Welcome to the site.

Hi Chris and welcome.

I'm afraid I have to echo Fiona's sentiment regarding your Silver Shark. Your tank is far too small for a Silver Shark and they need to be kept in a shoal too.

Hopefully your LFS will take him back when you explain that your tank isn't large enough.
Otherwise you may find a local group on Facebook where someone would be willing to rehome him.

Welcome, Chris!

What do you do with your baby guppies?

Aquarist-classifieds.co.uk has a good reputation if you're ever looking to sell on fish.

Hello.

Thinkfish.... that's pretty much what I've been doing since I started keeping fish 45 years ago. I'm active on a few forums, and decided to come here on a one-in-one-out basis, due to the imminent closure(?) of the PFK forum.

It's always quite exciting joining a new forum, and I'm looking forward to being here.

I used to work in 'the trade'. I dropped myself in at the deep end, working in retail, wholesale, importation and consolidation (importing boxes for other people), supplying about 50 fish shops and pet shops on a weekly basis. Since then I have managed a couple of shops, but these days I'm back to being just a hobbyist.

I've kept an awful lot of fish since my love affair with Oscars. I love most fish, but my main passion is a few oddballs from most families, and cichlids.

Happy to be here,
Regards
Mark

What fish do you currently keep?

Hampalong · « **Reply #592 on:** June 12, 2016, 02:03:42 PM »

Thanks for the welcome.

I'm in a bit of limbo atm, soon to be moving house. I have one tank set up with a collection of assorted Dollars, which were acquired as tankmates for a large Black Ghost that I'd had for about 8 or 9 years. Sadly it died a few months ago. They're in a 6x2x2.

My wishlist for the near future includes some of the African Coptodon spp, depending on the size and number of tanks I can house.

There's only one version at the moment Mark, some windows 10 users have related issues - I have yet to find an SMF (forum software) fix.

Are there specific problems you're having?

Generally, the forum works best in landscape mode on most smartphones but it's hard to cater to all devices.

Hampalong · « **Reply #598 on:** June 12, 2016, 04:04:23 PM »

I just prefer default styles to mobile "friendly". It works for the main site, but when I click on the forum it defaults to a mobile version. The incessant pop up telling me to go landscape is very annoying, to say the least... it never stops!!

Robert · « **Reply #599 on:** June 12, 2016, 04:15:15 PM »

Ah! I may be able to do something about that nag box - it was designed to get people to turn their phones and make it all easier. The theme was modded to be more responsive (work on all devices) and the tradeoff was ensuring that users flipped their screens if viewing in portrait.

I'll see what I can do, thanks for the heads up!

Update: Nag message has now gone, subtle message in header now instead.
