Greetings From Adamthesim

Hello fellow aquarists!
 
My name is Adam and I currently keep two fresh water aquariums. I keep a 20 gallon tall for small fish and a 75 gallon live planted tank.
 
I absolutely love Angel Fish, Gourami, Catfish, Rainbows and Discus. I currently keep (in my show tank) 4 Angels, 1 Discus, 2 Gourami, 1 Catfish, 3 Rainbows and 1 Pictus Catfish.  There is also a small assortment of Tetras for size and colour contrast. 
 
I acquired my Discus just 3 days ago. He/she is my first Discus and is very shy, but he/she is slowly coming out more and more to say hello. (Don't worry he/she has lots of places to hide and feel secure.)
 
I also had my first spawning in my 75 gallon last week. While the eggs did not survive, I now know the sex of my angels. The single female I got when she was little larger than a nickel! So proud!
 
A fifth angel is being raised in my 20 gallon tank and will join his big brothers and sisters in due time.
 
Cheers,
Adam

What sort of Rainbows do you have? I have Crimson Spotted (duboulayi).

Hi Gruntle,
 
I have 1 Boesemani Rainbow and one New Guinea Rainbow. I was told I was getting two "Boesmani"  the females are just less colourful but based on some research I think they are mistaken. My "female" is in fact a Turquoise Rainbow. In any case, I have 3 rainbow fish total.
 

 Interesting side note: I think my New Guinea would be an Olympic swimmer if he were human. Faces and swims against the out flow nozzle of my filter. I tell you, that little guy has some serious stamina!

Hey adam welcome aboard!

I always get a small laugh when I do a water change, I siphon the new treated water from a bucket into the tank, my fish line up to fight the current!
