    Hi Santa,

    I've been a very very good girl this year - I've not missed a single waterchange; I've taken good care of my aquarium plants; I've raised and given away several batches of endlers....

    So here is my wish list for this year!

    Please can you arrange for the following fish to be delivered:
    6 Melanotaenia trifasciata or if that cant be arranged, then a half dozen dwarf neon blue rainbowfish will do, thanks.

    3 or four Siamese Algae eaters (fondly known as sae's but please be sure it is the real thing - Crossocheilus siamensis to be precise!)

    A wife for my bachelor boy - he's a lovely lad - my golden ancistrus would like a long finned ladylove please (he can't type so I'm asking on his behalf).

    Many Thanks!
    Tracy

    PS: And as a stocking filler, could you please find me a small plantlet of the Trident variety of java fern?

    Dear Santa

    I have also been a good girl this year, all my tanks and fishies are doing well!

    All I want this year is no more algae in my grow out planted tank as well as no more equipment malfunctions.

    Also I am looking for golden whiteclouds, if you could be so kind as to help me source some.

    Kind regards

    Angie

    PS: As a stocking filler I would really love a return plane ticket to PE :p

    Dear Santa,

    I have been a good boy this year and I have only lost one fish due to jumping ( :( ) and my other fish are doing well. Tank no. 3 is being set up.

    All I want this festive season is a C02 injection system, so santa, when you fly around delivering presents, think of my plants and know they deserve a good life too!!! :)

    P.S. @Wyvren, Yes please santa!! No more algae! :)

    Odin, not sure if you are a voyeur on TASA... if you catch this see if you can influence this civilization to be kind to it pets, nurture nature and make this hobby affordable so that all can participate. It is irrelevant who I am or what I did but my request seems decent and maybe even achievable to some degree.
    Oh and harvesting a free source of energy will be much appreciated ... eskom is killing us in this millennium.

    Hey Santa,

    I might as well give it a go because I've been a good boy as well and have regularly maintained my 3 tanks with great pride and enthusiasm. My wish is for an 8ft 1000lt+ tank with a 4ft sump with lots of awesome community fish and if you could please send over a few of your little elves to help with the maintenance every week, that would be super.

    Dear Santa, I haven't been the best boy this year - I've missed a few waterchanges and lost a few fish, but I still care for my tank and spend a lot of time on them. I do my best - and thus - everything is doing great and the growth is fantastic.

    All I ask for for the LFS's near me to, somehow, obtain the fish I'm looking for: Stiphodon percnopterygionus, Sewellia lineolata, and other Hillstream loaches.

    Thank you!
    Danelle.

    Dear Santa seeing that the 21st has come and gone I might as well. Yes I was a good boy this year, depends on who you ask though. Ok. Let's start of with Rainbows. I'm not pickey so I will accept any. If there is more place on the slaigh a new 4ft with 3ft sump will come in handy, so we will not run in the overcrowding problem as 2012. O yes before I forget an understanding wife will also be apreseated.

    Right, one of 4 wishes is a good start! (I've only been trying to get these fish for 2 years... sigh!)

    Very nice @tracyp. Which ones are you getting? The old bastard didn't realize that he can pick them up in Australia, on his way here, or else he doesn't know what they look like (whill have to ad pictures next year) that might also be the reason that the Elf needed to help you.
    Very happy for you and you must post pictures as soon as they are settled
