Hi. New To Forum (not To Fish)

[Echinodorus]

Hi.

I'm new. To the forum, not the hobby. Been keeping fish ever since I was a wee babby. Well, when I was a baby my dad kept fish, but I had my first tank when I was nine. It was a 40 litre jewel with orange swordtails and a little bubble filter. I had varius in betweens but now, since I work at the aquarium centre as technical assistant (means I spend all day mending broken filters, doing plumbing and looking after show tanks. Ideal job!) well, anyway, since I work, I have money and I spend it on my new 120 litre tank. I planted it today.

I decided to join a forum because I want to talk about aquaria more (more than the whole time I'm working and most of the time at home and at school to unsuspecting class mates. Don't worry. I tend to only be single minded for a few months and then I can talk about other stuff again some of the time)

Oh, and as some may have guessed my favourite plants are echinodorus species.

I'm 17 years old by the way.

Bye.
