An Introduction To My Self And My Plans

[TheOscarman1981]

Hi all I have not kept fish for over 10 year now and have gotten the bug again after ten years away from the hobby.I got back in to fish keeping by accident as I've recently moved house and found an old aquarium and some equipment in the back of the garage when moving. So I decided to set it up in my living room mostly to show my nephew and niece, and had planned to set up a basic community aquarium. The aquarium was a Rio125 with a external filter that I used to have on a 125gallon Aquarium. So I got it set up and running and started to stock it in the process of doing that my 13 year old son decided he wanted one for his bedroom. So I looked for a good but cheap setup for him as I was expecting him to get bored of it like the rest of his fads. I found a good setup for him an aqua one AR-850 and set it up for him and stocked it for him with 2x angels,6x black neons,6x red eye tetras and 6x peppered Corys. I thought that that would be the end of it just two aquariums in the house but low and be hold his angels laid eggs and had young so I ended up setting up a rearing tank in bed room for him and he managed to bring up several of the young with my help and that was it I was hooked again now I have a 125gallon tank in my living room with Oscars And Spotted silver dollars and 6 of his angels I know Angels with Oscars as of yet Oscars show no aggressiveness to words them and it only temporary. 75gallon in my bed room with a pair of angels and a pair of kribs with some red eyed tetras and my Rio125 with some guppies and 3 rearing tanks and all this in just over six to nine months lack of room is only reason not got more.

My plan is to get back into breeding again as I like the challenge, so my angels have just laid eggs and so long as they are viable I'll be looking to get some thing else to breed but not sure what any ideas please many thank and hope I've not board you to death.

Wow, it's amazing how tanks just seem to multiply isn't it?
Welcome to the forums and I'm sure we'd all like to see some pictures of your tanks.

And you only just moved into this house? I fear another relocation is imminent as you'll be running out of space very soon!!
 
Best wishes and welcome
