Welcome, hope you enjoy yourself here.

What fish are you keeping?

 

[JoshuaC]

Thanks! I keep 2 tanks, a freshwater tank and a Saltwater tank. I have 2 Clown Fish, 2 Yellow tailed Blue Damsels, a Butterfly fish, a Scopas Tang, and an Oriole Angelfish in the Saltwater tank. My Freshwater tank has 5 Tiger barb, 2 Tiger Pleco, 2 Pterophyllum Altum.

Welcome to the forum. Sounds like you've got a good couple of tanks. Remember, we love pictures here on TFF

I'm always interested in fishkeeping in other countries; what's it like in the Philippines? Is it popular? Do you have problems getting the equipment and fish you want?

Hey Fluttermoth. It's not that popular, sad to say. People have good sized tanks here but don't maintain them but there is a fairly large community of affecionados in the country. As for equipment, it's easy to get if you know where to look. The country's capital, Manila, has a park where all kinds of fish and equipment are sold. My dad, who's been keeping fish for 42 years, gets most of his equipment there.

Good to know you're not struggling to find the things you want

 

[JoshuaC]

Thanks! some equipment need to be ordered outside of the country though, so as you'd imagine, it can get quite expensive.
