Hey everybody,
New to the forum and wanted to introduce myself. You've got a Texas boy on your hands. I've had fish since before I was born and have always loved them. I think it started with an oscar, pleco and a few tinfoil barbs back in '87. I started my own tank back in high school and kept fish all through college. Man did my hall director love having a 29g tall in the top floor of the dorm, SARCASM! Anyway, I now have three tanks.
In order from smallest to largest:
2.5g lightly planted. Stock: Guppies between 6 and 40 depending on whether I have a drop or not. At the first sign that a "cow" is dropping I move her to my...
10g also lightly planted. Stock: Guppy fry, Cichlid fry, small gourami. Used as a grow out tank.
Which brings me to:
55g Stock: 4 small Jack Dempseys, an oscar, also small, 19 Buenos Aires tetras, two medium-sized clown loaches and a siamese algae eater. This is my show tank, and actually why I just joined the forum. I came home from work today (currently PetSmart) to an ich infection. I think some feeders came in with it but treatment has started and I'm going to kill those little parasites with extreme prejudice.
Hopefully once the infestation is taken care of, I will get some pictures up. Anyway welcome to the forum to me and I look forward to spending some time with everyone.
