Pappy Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Hello New member, kept fish about 30 years ago and for some reason stopped I am setting up my first tank since getting the bug again I have a 6x2x2 and intend to have a community set up Kept about 6 smallish tanks first time round with Africans but don't want to repeat Thought a community tank would be more entertaining for the grand kids Life of the aquarist is much easier now with the Internet and forums, 30 years ago we had trial and error So far I am enjoying the renewed interest Don't think I will be much help to members, I'm sure they know a lot more than me, but I am open for a chat Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melbournebetta Posted January 17, 2013 Report Share Posted January 17, 2013 Pete - You don't do things by halves do you? A large community that size would be amazing, we got to get the next generation hooked early I say! Photos would be great, feel free to throw around ideas of what to stock it with too. You should have a peek in at Subscape, the store has some seriously handsome Aquascaped 4/5/and 6 foot planted tanks (: Best of luck! -Ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pappy Posted January 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Hi Aaron and Ness Thanks for your reply I havn't heard of Subscape, where are they (I'm in Melbourne northern suburbs) Have scaped the tank with Amazon swords in the 2 back corners and a small leaf Anubias on a hollow log in the middle Plan to put 2 or 3 more Anubias on the log when I find some nice plants I also have a bit of Jave fern, not sure if I will keep So far I have stocked with 4 x Cory 4 x Bristle nose 15 x Cardinals 1 x Ram 1 X Blue gourami I wanted 3 or 4 Angels with mixed colours, and a friend gave me 10 2" silver with stripes I didn't have the heart to say no. I may have to off load some as they are all from the same brood (Litter, batch, swarm????) all the fish are Juvies except the gourami and ram Looking for a nice feature fish (I'm open for suggestion)something that will stand out like a gold sevrum (Not sure what a Sevrum will do to my plants) Will post pictures when I figure out how Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
