Hello from me too

[bluepacific]

Hello:

I'm new here... I like the layout of this site - very nice! I'm from the we(s)t coast of Canada and I have currently a 10 gallon planted freshwater aquarium with a 5" pleco (in need of a newer and larger tank! )
2 clown loaches, and a pretty betta (I'm not sure of it's breed, in fact)

I recently moved into a larger apartment, so we do plan on getting the pleco a bit more space! I'm hoping to get as large an aquarium as I can for cheap for him... poor guy is so 'clumsy' in the 10 gallon

Thanks! Hope to "yak" with some of you!

You're not kidding about needing something bigger for the Plec. These guys get big as your arm

Welcome aboard

blue,

As far as the pleco goes....it really depends on the species of pleco you have!!

Not all plecos grow to a large size.....some on get to 3-4"!!

If you can snap a pic and post it we could prolly ID it for you.

Hi Tetraboy!

Hmm, it's hard to say what's popular here in Canada on the whole.
I guess it depends on the areas? Aquariums are very popular here in British Columbia where I live... and as far as freshwater fish go there are a lot of Koi ponds popping up everywhere For home aquariums, from my own observations I see a lot of tetras, mollies, platties, and even bettas being sold.

I guess it is all dependant on who likes what.

Am I correct in guessing you like/keep tetras?

Have a good one!

Oups - forgot to log in before replying...

Instead of turning this into a "hot" topic, I am going to reply to everyone in this posting individually

Thank you all for such a big and cool welcome! I actually find you are an extremely friendly group as far as forums go! I think I'm going to feel at home here... especially after reading your postings!

LES: Hi! Thanks for the welcome... I like it here already.

CICHLIDMASTER: WOW! I'm a big RedGreen fan too! that's super! I just moved recently, and my digi cam was lost until last night. Now, I just have to wait until Wednesday to get out adsl line connected at the apartment. After that, I certainly plan on trying to snap a photo of him to show you... sad thing is that he's always glued to the backside of this rock we have hiding. He soooo cute though! I just love his little eyes
I'll try my best anyways...

PUFFERPACK: Take off ya hoser! ha ha, very good! Loved "Strange Brew" thanks for the tip on google finder... beyond our local Buy&Sell, I haven't got many other resources. How'd you enjoy the dump of snow, eh?

GRAEME: Hello to
