LOL! Bill IS an antique. He just deals with it.

So, anyway, Bill, what type of fish are you looking to keep? My favorites have switched from rope fish to Panda Garra.

I would also be known as an old timer. My first aquarium, a small plastic tank with three small goldfish in it, was a surprise birthday present on my fifth birthday in 1962. When my family moved to a larger house in '67, with a garden, things changed. I acquired an angle iron stand with two 24"x12"x12" tanks in and on it. The goldfish were moved to a pond I dug in the reasonably large garden, and the two tanks were set up with heaters and under gravels. My mother loved angel fish, so the upper tank always had a single angel fish in it, but the rest of the space filled up with cyprinids, barbs and rasboras for the most. A 36"x15"x12" I picked up at a house clearance, and installed it in my bedroom when I was about 15 followed. Richly planted and stocked with rasboras.
