gobies et al Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 I'm still trying to find a name for him and since he is a Koi fish i think a Japanese name would be great. I'm from edmonton and I thought getting a fish and keeping it would be fairly in expensive :bang1: LIttle did i realize that Koi grow faster than weeds. It's blown my budget for the month allready. I love the suggestion of Sushi!! Another would be Takai, which means Expensive Koi. Try Googling Koi Japanese terms . I am sure you will come up with something you like. I just referred to mine by variety. Have fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpm_calgary Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 Hello everyone! Well what can I say? My mom has been in the aquarium hoby for over 30 years and for as long as I can remember we have had aquariums for most of that time! She is now in Nova Scotia and here I am in Calgary. I purchased my first tanks this past January 2008 (33 gallon, 2 x 10 gallons, and a 5 gallon) and am now "hooked", lol. Since then I sold my 5 gallon to a friend and purchased a 75 gallon tank full of african cichlids and moved my 2 bala sharks into that tank along with an ice cream bucket full of cichlids that were given to me for free. Also purchased a 20 gallon tank about a week for 40-50 Red Jewels that were given to me by the same person. My 20 gallon is obviously going to be a grow out tank and I have plans to purchase a 180 and sell my 30 to the same friend that purchased my 5 gallon In my 33 gallon I purchased 17 pseudotrophious demasonai, 10 selosai, and 5 blue dolphins from a forum member here known as kdpuffer. The colours are astounding on all of them! My 2 10 gallon tanks are currently full with community fish, many fancy guppies (60-70), about 5-6 neon tetras, 5-6 zebra danios, and finally a red and white jumbo ruyukin. Like many people who get into this hoby, it is addicting, entertaining, and relaxing. It has been bring me a great deal of pleasure! I am hoping to get my new job as an Apple technician on wednesday and will be purchasing the biggest possible tank I can fit into my main floor appartment Thats enough of my chatter! Hoping to be a long time member of the forums and will try to provide my assistance and knowledge when I can. Rick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krazy_Karma Posted July 15, 2008 Report Share Posted July 15, 2008 Hi my name is Lisa, I am trying to get a nice Cichlid tank going, I bought a tank which came with 6 Cichlids, however of them I only like one...so am wanting to sell or trade the others...the problem is I dont know what they all are. I would love help to find fish that are compatable with each other...here are some that I am looking at Sunburst Peacock, Festivum, Damasoni, Elect. Yellow and Borellii, I want the colors of these fish, I want orange, yellow, blue and even a nice green...please help me. If you have a larger Cichlid that you might want to sell that you think would fit in my tank please send me a line, I am keeping my cobalt Blue red top he is 6", what I have is Snow White Socofli for sale or trade 4", I think a Aequidens Latifrons (looks like one anyway) I have another two that I cant think what they are, one is black with a yellow band, the other has black vertical strips with a black under bellie, in certain light where he looks more pink he has a blue hue to him...all these are 4" and Im looking to trade them for fish of more color...or sell them either way.
