i would be happy to discuss fish with anyone. i have never been in the situation besides at work, to discuss fish. ive been doing it since i was 10. i was an aquatics specialist, both fresh and salt. let's talk.

nothing is anymore rewarding than to have a complete ecosystem in your livingroom. if you go into someones house that has a big tank, all eyes are fixed to the tank. reptiles are pitifully easy campared to fish. any idiot can keep a snake. do they worry about the PH? or the gh? or specific gravity? how about the co level? how many types of filters does a reptile keeper have? carbonate hardness? you won't see that under pythons. and compatibility! that is tough sometimes. and did i mention plants? we won't even go there. basically in my opinion, aquatics is the hardest vocation of animal keeping. most people don't know the difference between a guppy and a mbuna. we won't even talk salt...

i didn't mean to go off on fish, but it is so precise

it is mate, and it can getreally confusing if your new to the hobby, a friend who has just set up a tank was sold Queen Danio's, but the shop keper said they were Indian Hatchetfish hahaha

aquatics is all about experience. i take aquatics very seriously. if you can keep a flame angel and a regal tang, you can keep a dog, frog, hog, bat cat, bear, hare etc. a dalmation molly or a redtail boa? my freshwater tank is zoo quality. it's fully planted and is a masterpiece that is stable. and you know what i'm talking about. there's more tetras than boids, easy! if you want to know anything about aquatics, let me know. you can't goof around with fish.

yeah mate, your right there, you really have to know wha youre doing, next week I'm gonna re stock my plants, they have taken a bashing from my Rams, especially my crypts, they love them hahaha, I want carpeting plants and I'll have to order floating plants off the net, lol, and I have to put more yeast in my home made CO2 system and clean out my ank, good lord, I didn't realise how much I had to d otoday

my barbs love to just tear off pieces of my wisteria. so i get my intakes all clogged up. you got blue rams? they're nice cichs! i don't run co2 in my tank.

yeah mate, I have blue rams, I bought what I thought was a pair, and one turns out to be a sneak male but they have their own territories inside my tanlk and tend not to stray over the boundary, I run the CO2 mainly for the rams, brings the water down to pH6, and the tetras and corys love it hahaha
