Newbie here!!!

Post by amazing_betta » Mon Feb 26, 2007 1:07 pm

Hi,
I'm new on this Loach forum, but I'm not new to the fish breeding, collecting, and/or hobbying. I currently have 40 fish tanks in the house and I thought that I need more tanks to accomodate all my collections. :D I have quite a few of angels fish growing right now, some discus, rare/dwarf plecos, rare cories, flowerhorns, rasboras galaxies (40 pcs.) :) and now I just bought five clown loaches. The two are I thought were big already until I learned that they can grow up to 24".. :roll: :o
The biggest of the two is about 7" or probably a little over and the other one is about 6". The rest are about 3" in length.
My quest now is to get myself a 180 g or 200 g tank for my new found love clowns. :)
A friend is giving me her stand/canopy that can fit a 180 or 200 g tank. I getting excited to get this tank set up now and fill them up with clowns... :D
Will keep you posted.
BTW, I am in South Orange County area, in Southern California...
Thanks everyone! I hope I can enjoy my stay here and learn more about clown loaches....
:D

welcome...

any bettas?

:)
Sounds like your an advanced aquarist (is that a word?)

And when you breed those galaxy rasboras, please let us know so we can buy some off you.

Thank you all for welcoming me. :)
40 tanks and still counting more. :D
I just picked up a wet and dry system for 180 g tank, so now I will schedule to pick my friend's stand and canopy which can fit 180 or 200 g.. :)

I am hoping I wil be able to breed those rasboras galaxies soon. They were very, very shy the first time I got them. They started venturing out now and started searching for food too. They are little aggressive towards each other and a little territorial. They are housed in my 125 g along with my albino blue eyed long fins, marble calicos, weitzmani and adolfoi cories.

I used to breed bettas too.. :lol:
BTW, my long fin C. Paleatus population are exploding!!!
Just harvested about a hundred eggs two days ago.
They group that I started with were just an inch. They are now 2.5" and
they breed crazy, almost every other day.
I have a little over a hundred right now plus these eggs that I've harvested.
:D


I do some buyings and selling in aquabid as well.
My user id is also amazing_betta

Thanks!!!
