orthomea Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 It all started in Melbourne back in 1964 when I had one six and eight two foot tanks and as most, I wanted one of every type. That idea soon changed and I started to keep species tanks. At that time I was keeping corys, danios, red swords and guppies. C paleatus was my first successful spawning. Came to Perth in 1972 and in 1983 got back into fish again, and I was keeping rainbows, I formed the WA branch of ANGFA and had about 200 tanks running all with native fish, now I have sized way down to a very small fish room with about 50 tanks and concentrating on killies, corys and rainbows. I now live in Morley (Perth) WA. Regards orthomea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackworm Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 Welcome. You seem to have a completely different idea of scale. By chance are you single? I don't think my partner would ever let me have 200 tanks. Let alone 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
