    Hi Imraan

    Welcome...

    Once would think that as you learn about tropical fish, you would move away from goldfish species, but I am finding my self moving back to keeping them

    Hi Guys, Vikesh here. I used to have tropical aquariums about 20 years ago. I tried my hand at breeding angel fish at that time, but was not successful in raising the fry. Not many products were available on the shelf and no internet/Google for fry food. I think I tried liqui-fry and tried to culture some infusoria. My pair gave me about ten attempts to raise the fry, all were unsuccessful after about 3 - 5 days, until I lost them to a problematic heater. I gave my tanks away at that time. I Had 2x 120 liter and 3x 60 liter tanks. The hobby has advanced in many ways since then, as I have been reading on this forum. There is BRILLIANT advise for newbies, cause that's what I feel like now. Keep up the great work guys.
