Hi All

[wrm130]

New here, kindof(I quietly read) and new to fish in general as of March 2012.  Tanks went from 1 to 2 to 3....to 6.  I'm addicted and love it.

Currently all my tanks are fairly heavily planted and stocked with:
-threadfin rainbows
-glasscats
-ottos
-cherry shrimp
-mts, pond, ramshorn and assasin snails
-snowball shrimp
-crystal red shrimp
-celestial pearl danios
-minami? shrimp
-badis badis
-SAE
-apisto cacatuoids
-AND one lonely male agassizi.....If anyone knows where I can get a female please pm me.

Anyways, thats my hello for now, looking forward to learning lots.  Pics to come once I get them onto the computer from my phone.

Nice tanks and welcome to OVAS!

As a friendly reminder, we're a family gentle forum and would prefer that the posts remain clean (using special characters rather than the actual letters doesn't work with us)

From the look of your tanks, I'd say that you have a lot of knowledge to share. Thanks for posting.

[wrm130]

Edited, my apologies.what a way to start

Thank you also, but I have NO knowledge, just beginners luck.
I'm here learn.

Nice! Not bad for sans co2 .. actually.. REAL awesome for sans co2 Well done! Where did you acquire Pogostemon stellatus from? Is a sweet plant i wouldn't mind if/when you have trimmings!

I think the daphnia jars are so cool.  May have to start a windowsill aquatic garden of my own. 

Great tanks, and welcome to the forums!

Hi and welcome to OVAS .
Beautiful tanks as well, you've done well in only 7 months.

[wrm130]

Thank you all for the warm welcome!

-daphnia jars are clustered around an aerogarden with a greenwater jug in the center.  I am quite paranoid about these as its all I've managed to get the scarlet badis to eat.  Other than live brine shrimp but I find them irritating.  Live fw culture ideas are welcome.  Lol please!

-mts I dont mind as substrate is....essentially dirt and I've never vac'd

-Pogostemon came from...I dont remember:(

My scarlet badis also likes microworms and I expect eats my cherry shimplets. They do only eat live IME.

Let me know if you want some microworm culture.

Here's hoping they don't hit my snowball shrimp babies too hard...

And a microworm culture would be amazing!!!!!!!!

You guys are awesome!!!
