Back Into Fishkeeping

[Twinpot]

Hello fellow fish fanatics,
I have decided to get back into fishkeeping after 10 years since I had my last aquarium.
I am still undecided as to which fish I will be putting in the tank, I still have loads of time until the tank is cycled.
I must say, I was a little bit shocked as to how much a new tank costs these days. I bought my last tank by saving my pocket money, at those rates it would have taken me almost 3 years of saving every penny to buy my new tank!
Anyway, many thanks to all the people that have taken the time over the years to post and build a knowledgebase that will be so helpful to the success of my new venture.

Hi and welcome!
To start, you could always post the size of the aquarium you have! And the equipement as well!
Are you doing fish-less cycling?

Hope you enjoy the forum.
 
And welcome back to the hobby as well, reckon quite a few things have changed since you last kept fish! Not just the prices that have changed I bet.

Thanks for the welcome.
Sorry it has been so long since my last post but I have had some PC problems.
I have a 180 Lt Juwel tank with a built in filter and heater.
I have done a fish-less cycle to get the tank ready.
It now has 3 Platys, 3 Guppys, 6 Silver-Tip Tetras and 6 Glowlight Tetras in it. I am going to wait a few weeks and then add a couple of Peppered Cats.
So far everything is going well, the fish seem healthy and happy and the water quality is spot on.
