I've received some cracking advise on here - thanks to you all.

I'm happy to say I've even managed to pass a good amount of it on to others.

I have to acknowledge the big 2 which are...... BigC and Colin-T..... The most sound advice!!.... Bilju, for what is pending, (November 3rd).... Shelagh, my bestest friend......& then there was this guy who "modified" my sig, to contain my favourite fish (Choc Gouramie) with the S.A. National flower (Protea) and the S.A. Flag colours..... (what's his name

..... he probably designed your's as well) & sorry.... I must add Tolak for turning a blind eye one evening when we were having so much fun with a thread of nothing.... nothing........nothing

aww what a lovely thread,
theres really not enough room on here to thank everyone that has helped me since i started in January, and well.. stopped me chucking in the towel at various stages, but at last i found a fish that can put up with me,good old Jambo.- with tonnes of help from nelly.
its a great site full of lovely people,Ludwig and his lovely wife are especially fantastic,but you all are, there has been a lot of "play" which is usually enjoyed by all :lol:

( ok.. some) yes i remember that time ludwig :lol:

all the mods have my respect too, just at the moment they are working their butts off to keep it just the way we love it.
mark.. heres to many years happy fishkeeping for us all :pepsi:

shelagh xxxxxxxxxxxxx

I can't really list any names since I haven't asked many questions here; most of the stuff I wanted to know (and didn't even know I wanted to know!) has been available in existing threads. But I agree, this is an amazingly helpful forum with a great atmosphere. The extent to which people are willing to help newbies was just amazing when I first stumbled across these forums!

Although despite not wanting to make any lists, I must say that Saintly and Aaronnorth have been fantastic sources of information and great inspiration in the planted tank hobby.
