Just thought I'd say hello and introduce myself
I'm Vic and I used to hail from Edmonton. I've had tanks for years.
Started off with a 5gal with guppies as a kid and had a 10gal with neon tetras for ever.
Before coming to Strathmore, I was in Montreal. I had a 20/25gal tank there with Convicts among other fishes. My breeding pair decided that they would have their first brood about 2 weeks before I moved. I thought that all the eggs were kapput when I started to dismantle the tank. That's when I noticed some odd looking dirt in the pipe coming up from the undergravel filter. The little rascals had survived and were living in the filter cavity! They ended up with a neighbour
Now I have two tanks, a 40gal Cichlid-Community tank and a 30gal planted tank. I'll likely set up at least 1-2 more smaller tanks over the next while for broods and quarantine.
The 40gal has Electric-Blue Haps, Ruby-Reds, Yellow Labs, Red Parrots plus an assortment of Ballas, Red-Tailed Black Sharks, Tinfoils, SilverDollars, Clown Loaches and Pete the White Spotted Pleco.
The 30gal has Dwarf Neon Rainbows, Pearl Gourami's, Serpae Tetras, Golden Killifish - these guys are real characters ... they nip me every time I do any maintanance - Burmese Loaches and Red Flower Shrimp + about 8-10 different varieties of plants.
I've got a few pics of the tanks on my web site http://members.shaw.ca/vichoule/
Anyhow ... gotta go and see if my CO2 generator is percolating yet,
Vic
