Hello Tropical Fish Forum,
I have to say having hovered over this forum for the last month or so i must say this is the best forum with the best advice i have found yet, hense me signing up and saying hello|
.
I am very new to the hobby and have recently purchased a Juwel 125L tank from my local seapets store in Colchester, Essex. I have been researching the best i can using websites, forums and books etc, however i find the best knowlege is from experiance and i am sure you all have lots of that
I am moving out of home very shortly to my own flat, ground floor and having tropical fish is somthing i have wanted to own for a long time now, currently my tank is in storage but will soon be up and running hopefully in the next month or two, so far having bought the tank i have started collecting bits and pieces for the tank, i have bought things like thermoters, air stones and cleaning equipment etc, i have also been to my local garden centre and bought a good block of slate and bog wood to enhance the look inside the tank, apart from that i think i have everything as the Juwel set up comes with filters and heaters, i got gravel and background etc thrown in the deal.
I cant think what else i would need, is there anything that people could suggest me?
As for what type of tank i would like, well i would like a community tank, not sure which fish as of yet, but i do like the neon tetras, clown loaches and plecs, any recommendations?
I appriciate any replys and advice,
Thanks in advance
Kind Regards
