    Been a freshwater tropical fan sins forever.
    Catched kurpers and washed down koi from the Danie Uys stadium at the old pankies in bellville for those of you that knew the place in the 80's.I have 7 "3 Foot" aquariums of which 4 is in use.I've seen some of the members here on different sites eg. Yuppies for Guppies & Simply discus.
    My goal is to try and keep things as simple as possible.:idea:
    Still wanna setup a supa dupa planted tank.

    Man must be nice to be able to run your tanks in the garage - would love to do that .. you ever bump the rack with the bakkie ? I like the idea of three tanks stacked - but working on the top tank could be a challenge ... You trying to breed the discuss ?

    The babies are from the pair in the bottom right tank.
