rudy Posted April 23, 2004 Report Share Posted April 23, 2004 I am from Calgary. I feel the same as you J-roc. Forums on the net cater toward a whole different dynamics and geography. Not many people on them (at least the ones I am on) have anybody locally participating. Things like retailer reviews, fish store finds and general experience are hard to find when you are talking to people from another continent. Anyway, looking forward to it. :mellow: Little bit about me I am 28, can be a real smart @$$, opinionated prick. I do however love my cichlids.

Shylow Posted August 9, 2004 Report Share Posted August 9, 2004 Just wanted to say hi and I am so glad that I found this forum. A little about me I am 29, mom to a very active 7yr old. I am from Central Alberta around the Red Deer area. At the moment I have 2 tanks set up a 10 gal and 20 gal, and looking for a place to set up my 3rd which is a 30 gal. I mostly have guppies at the moment since my son luvs them, but garenteed when I have my next tank set up guppies are not going to be in it since I would like to have some cichlids. Between the two tanks I have a clown loach, a couple of dojo loaches, a swordtail or two, a pleco, another algea eater no idea of the name since he was given to me and my betta.

Neilpet Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Greetings, fish-people! I am from Calgary, 47 yrs old. My wife and I, some 5 years ago, said 'Hey, a fishtank wold look great against that wall. How expensive could it be?' And that was the beginning of our undoing. Here we are, late 2004, and we have the following: 33 g tank with tanganyikan dwarfs, some breeding, some eating the fry. 50 g tank with breeding groups of maleri peacocks, rusty cichlids, perlmutts and a pair of optimistic zebra obliquidens. The maleri just won't breed, but the others are fertile as potting soil. 90 g community tank with tetras and rainbowfish and a group of peacocks that won't breed. 100g cichlid tank with mostly pseudotropheus and haps. Not too crowded yet, but we're working on it. How expensive could it be, indeed. My wife won't let me entertain the idea of saltwater, due to the expense. Hmph. Looking forward to making all of your acquaintances. Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
