    Hi All

    I'd also like to belatedly introduce myself, I live in Randburg, Gauteng. I've been keeping fish for a number of years and my current exercise is maintaining a rather moody Discus tank.

    I have extensive experience with South American/Amazonian biotopes and have, with partial success, bred Discus. In a few years I would like to tackle the rigors of maintaining a salt-water tank.

    I'll happily answer any questions relating to tank management, maintenance, and water chemistry.

    "One doesn't keep fish, one keeps water, the fish are a by-product"

    Welcome McAnix.

    Trust you will hang around long enough to share your wealth of knowledge. I always beleive that if someone can keep discus, then they can give suitable advice, and I'll listen. (If you only keep guppies, the shut up!! Hehe)

    lol Zoom for some weird reason I have the same beliefs, keeping Discus sucessfully sure makes you an expert in fishkeeping.

    No worries. I can't get guppies to stay alive either. I started with 7 2 months ago, and now I'm down to one male and one female. Angels, tetra's, and cory's on the other hand just don't die!
