Tropical Aquarists?

[Rob W]

Just been given (last saturday) a 60L tropical tank. Always wanted fish since I was a kid but never really had the money or inclination to set myself up. The tank has been well established for a few years now so I've been lucky in as much that I haven't had to properly cycle it as if it was new.

I'm a complete novice at the mo, but I've been doing a fair bit of research this last week, and bought myself my first few fish yesterday.

Any other aquarists out there? Any good links to sites with decent info etc?

Cheers.

I have a Ghost Koi in my bedroom in a tank. Until he's large enough to go in the pond. He's called Colin.

google for some other sites mate alot of them share alot of mutual information regarding tank heating/filtration/common diseases and things to look out for, etc.

It sounds like you're doing everything so far correctly! If you get chatting to people at aquarium shops and the such, you can pick up a lot of information from them without knowing it really.

Only recently have I stopped fishkeeping with tropicals but I reckon I'll end up doing it again soon.

Good luck with it fella!

I have a 60 L tropical tank

Advise you to get a nice batch of the same fish as I got a load of different types and regret it!

Any questions let me know.

Well at the moment I've got:

6 Neon Tetras (I bought 5 of these yesterday)

2 Glass Catfish

1 Upside down Catfish

6" Common Plec

2 Swordtails

10 Mollies

2 Rosy Tetras

The ones in italic and brackets are what I bought yesterday, the rest were all in there. There was a large Angel (4" wide and 5" high) and since I swapped him, the others have been a LOT happier, seems he was a bit of a bully.

Haha cool, yeah Angels can be Devils sometimes:P

I would reccomend cardinals instead of neons even though higher price, neons tend to not live as long and cardinals have a full stripe or red and blue, but hey I have both they are cool

Angel fish are mis-named, they're evil buggers.

When I had a tank I like the silver sharks. Also had some danios - they shoal well.

You need to get rid of all them fish and get a ton of guppies. Can't go wrong with guppies!
So purdy...

Angel fish are arseholes.

I had 3 red tail sharks in my old set with loads of neon tetras.


The one angel fish I had killed all the sharks. And I liked them the most
