Hello guys,
Just thought I'd also introduce myself as a newbie to this forum. I don't have anywhere near as many fish as most people on here, infact I only have one 60 litre tank at the moment which houses:
6 Neon Tetra (I've had lots of these in the past. I started out with 8 this time, but lost a couple somehow and this latest 6 have lasted ages)
6 Black Widow Tetra (These guys have done really well and I love the way they shoal)
2 Other fish I cannot remember the name of. They're the same species... one is black and one is white.
1 Algae Eater (I had two of these, but sadly one died. They are fairly large now).
3 Apple Snails (I got these on eBay and now they're huge. I've seen a couple of babies too, but my snails are yellow and round, and these have grey pointed shells, any advice on this would be great
)
I might get a couple more for the tank in the future, but I think it's pretty full for now.
Biggest mistake I ever made - when I was new to keeping fish, I made the mistake of going to a garden centre who knew very little about the fish they were selling. They happilly went ahead and sold me 4 tiger barbs to go in my tank along with female bettas and other fish with large fins. Needless to say I ended up taking them swiftly back. They were pretty though. Was my fault really for not doing my research, but it's easy to underestimate how incompatible different species can be when you're just starting out.
When I get a new house, I'm hoping to go wild. My friend has a huge, huge fish tank that at the moment just houses one goldfish. When it dies, they're going to get rid of it, so I'm going to have it and set it up as a proper aquarium, put lots of thought into the design and have a really nice collection in there.
Anyway nice to meet you all.
Liam.
