Your Newest Member & Im Terrified :o)

[Skint]

Well Hello everybody,

Firstly let me say happy birthday to MaxOverKill, Sirius, fish_r_great, steppy104, lennym75, bettaboi. Congratulations

Well I am new to both fish keeping and this forum, and let me say that after reading through the topics this morning and the last few days, I am now terrified hehe

I started a new tank a month or so ago ( i had no idea about cycling ). I must have been quite lucky as some of the fish I have are still in good shape ( i think ). I had the tank of my parents who no longer have room as they already have another tank with a HUGE Oscar in it.

I am very naive at the moment as to what types of fish etc can be mixed into a new tank, so I apologise if I offend anybody I really wanted the tank mainly for some of the tropical red claw crabs which are awesome, unfortunalty my lack of knowledge meant that they passed away within a month or so ( very poor information from the LFS i must add). I have since been reading up on this new hobby and I am learning I think, that is until I read all these posts about cycling etc. IM TERRIFIED now lol.

Anyway, not getting into too much detail yet, just thought I would introduce myslef.. hello. I will try to get some images of my tank and fish to you soon, I may need some help identifying a couple of fish.

Nice to meet you all.
