I received a link to this site as a PM on another site where I spend time, so I thought I would check it out. I live in SE Michigan and have several tanks. All are planted freshwater tanks and range from 1 gallon to 30 gallons. I keep a variety of egglayers and livebearers, but I also have a Firemouth and a Convict Cichlid, an ADF and a Featherfin Catfish.

Hello fishyfry!

Welcome to the forum! :D

Hello, Welcome to the Forum

Thank you.

CatLover, I read your intro and would like to hear more about your water testing routines. Perhaps you could start a new thread in one of the regular forums.

Polaris, your Black Knife sounds like a real prize. Would you consider posting a short .avi?

I posted my thoughts and opinions on testing from research and observations under the freshwater thing.

I got a little lengthy, but I ended up putting a few nerdy interesting things I have read about and some personal experiences and examples.

I welcome any disagreements or questions or comments anyone wants to post on that thread.

I would like to hear about other people's methods so I can learn and improve my methods.



:D

When I get him back I will, I have a smaller one in a 10 Gallon I can try to get a video of, I love my Ghost knives, my prize is almost 2 foot though, He's being taken care of as we move, I diddnt want to risk him

Got round to get a vid of my little one, He's the spawn of my big fella and a friends knife click the link in my sig

Welcome. :)

Thanks Perfectblue.

Love the Knife's fin Polaris. Cool stripe on his tail too. :)

CatLover, I will go check out your post on water testing. Thanks!

I need to get a picture of him Eatin, It's hilarious because that little fin goes mad in both directions

very nice fish however i am wondering whats up with the sideways videoing lol

crappy camera, crappy vid, Sorry

I think the video is pretty cool. I love the way they move.

It's a lot better than anything I could do! :D

I love my knives but my ghost's are my favorite

lol i didn't even know there were others

tons, Ghost, Chocolate, Zebra, African brown etc

are there any that don't get massive?

I think the African brown would be happy in a 55G but it only eats Bloodworms and potato

lol that is weird

Welcome FishyFry. We are not too far apart- I live in northcentral Ohio. I am interested in livebearers too. Once this 75g is up and cycled I will need lots of advice on what fish to choose.

Thank you. 75G! woo hoo! Don't forget to post pics!

Tiger Oscar... and whatever else you like that can go with it. Don't forget to post some pics.

oh by the way I had a nice conversation with you for a bit then but I forgot to welcome you so welcome

:o I am located in Toledo, OH. Yeah, I got a message while in another site too! I still go there but not as much as here any more!
This is more of a one on one site.
Gonna see if I can't get some new members for this site though!

I got sent a pm on a Aquaria Central. I came on to the site and liked it however now that I think about it couldn't we getin trouble for that?

Naw, I don't think so. Might've been unappreciated if it was an actual post instead of a PM.

I remember one person took offence came on here and made an account with a "vulgar" name I guess you would say and posted an aggressive post.

ah. Tsk. Bad manners on their part then, I would say... that is to post instead of send a PM to the Admin. <_<
