new newbie

[chris_1127]

Hi, i'm new to the forum, as well as being new to keeping tropical fish, so thought id say hello. I'm Chris, based in Devon in the UK. I got myself a 15gal tank about 6-8 weeks ago now, cycled it with ammonia and stocked it with half a dozen tiger barbs a few weeks ago. I added a couple of green tigers last week, but soon realised that i "needed" a bigger tank. So i got a 30gal at the weekend thats been seeded from the old tank and is now in the process of cycling. Plan is to have a specimen barb tank in the 30gal, with perhaps a lone red tail shark and a plec or 2; and the 15 gal is going to be home to a couple of figure 8 puffers and bumblebee gobies. I;ve done as much reading up as i can about the fish that I am after keeping, but you;ll have to excuse me if i do ask any silly questions as i am new to it all still

Hi Chris and to the forum!

This is a great place for information and advice! I hope you enjoy it here!

Never mind beware of the freakin fish! Beware of Cat!

Here is the best bit of advice you'll ever get on here:

Never go into one of Cat's threads in General with your speakers on, if you aren't suicidal that is!

Welcome to the forums, between you and me, I'm the only sane one on here, I mean there's people who like to tie people up and make them eat cheese and no, this isn't what people have made the mistake of thinking, kinky, its downright evil! Lol! Welcome!

PS, I would suggest just one fig8 puff and bbgobies! Also, you do know they're brackish right?

Yeah, I do, I have waaaaaay too much spare time, and anyway, whats it to you? Anyway, these ones are staying for a while, then it'll probably be my Huffin Puffins again! Yay! Anyway, you'd never be without me!

HEHE wasnt being funny (nasty) just funny (haha) I like that it changes.

Cheers for the welcomes ; yeah i was aware that theyre brackish - theyre being kept in fw in the lfs, so was going to introduce them to a freshwater tank and gradually raise salinity. I couldnt help myself and got a bumblebee goby yesterday - would have gotten 2 but #2 wouldnt come out of his bogwood cave!! Hes a feisty bugger - not afraid to turn round and chase the barbs when they get too inquisitive!!
