jasonfeltham Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 Here I am, from Calgary (Newfie transplant). Been keeping a 36 gallon bowfront since September of last year. First 'serious' aquarium, meaning I spend an excessive amount of time watching it, cleaning it, pruning it, rescaping it, restocking it, loving it. Have transitioned through a lot of different fish, have added and removed gold tetras, guppies, siamese algae eaters, plecostomus, harlequin raspboras. The tank was too chaotic. Guppies especially, I think there were 50 guppies at one point. I'd sit down to watch and be constantly distracted by the guppy frenzy. Anyway ended up giving away most of these fish... Currently have (in no particular order of importance): 8 celestial danios 8 rainbow furcatas 2 adult male guppies (born in the tank, hybrid from FS purchases). 4 banded kuhlis 3 black kuhlis 1 dwarf gourami 3 sparkling gouramis 4 amano shrimp ~ 100 red cherry shrimp A few juvenile guppies that escaped the net during the last purge. Really happy with the tank right now. So much to watch. Just started shooting pictures as well and finding a lot of fun there. Also learning the plants and pruning, composing the scape, etc. Looking to add more kinds of shrimp, perhaps some blue pearl or yellow. Not concerned about cross breeding or hybrids between yellow and reds... Excited about joining the forum, sharing some photos, getting some tips. I have a feeling there will be another tank soon...

nautilus Posted April 17, 2013 Report Share Posted April 17, 2013 What MTS? does not exist. Tanks are simply lonely and need company!! :rofl: That's my story and I'm sticking to it (just in case the wife asks) BTW Big Al's clearing out their show tanks with some at $10!!
