The Guppy Man Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 Hi all I live in Gosford on the Central Coast of NSW. I have just gotten into keeping Bettas and Guppies after inheriting 6 male Bettas and a tank full of Fancy Guppies. It’s like an instant addiction. Since getting the fish I can’t stop searching Youtube to find out better ways to take care of these awesome little pets. I have since increased my school with 2 female Betta and 6 Blue Diamond Guppies. The relaxation I have from watching these beautiful fish is unbelievable and I’m falling deeper and deeper for this hobby every day. I’m currently running 8 tanks(3ft,3x2ft and 3x1ft) and I’m working on a community tank project. I think my wife and kids think that I’ve hit a midlife crisis early and say “Oh no, instead of an old cat lady with a house full of cats, you’re going to be the guppy man” with a house full of tanks and fish. I still have heaps of questions regarding the care of these remarkable fish and figured what better way of learning that to join like-minded enthusiasts. I look forward to chatting with some of you through the forum. Regards The Guppy Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiameseFightingFist Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 WELL... ...welcome, I went through this a year ago and I started with a 2 litre tank to progressed to 4 footer in the space of a couple of months. The people in this forum aren't going to help with you with this madness, they will only guide you further down the rabbit (fish) hole.

The Guppy Man Posted January 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Are you saying there is no end to the rabbit(fish)hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiameseFightingFist Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 I'm saying you're going to need help but you're not going to get it from this lot: http://ausaqua.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=12621 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briztoon Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 Welcome to the forum. It's called M.T.S Multiple Tank Syndrome. There's no known cure for it, and it has been known to lead to divorce. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melbournebetta Posted January 18, 2013 Report Share Posted January 18, 2013 It's true. We won't help. No, we will, but we wont. Tell your wife that the alternative is heroin, that shifts perspective & usually works. We will help with fishy things, we like those things, and generally as a rule, fishy people are a bit of alright too. I've just "downsized" from 300 litres between 12+ tanks, down to 150 litres in one tank. Samesamebutdifferent. There's something sort of magic (once you get hooked) about the fish gig. Let me suggest greedily that you get a photobucket account, and use it to link and share photos. We like photos. We're pervs. -Ness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
