    Before December, I had zero interest in fish, aquariums or anything remotely connected . However, toward the end of December I saw one of these and thought they're pretty cool - and bought one already made.

    I popped in 3 little guppies and 3 little shrimp - and I had a perfect little ecosystem. I absolutely loved it and started reading up as much as I could. I quickly realise that this was too small for the fish and purchased a 19l Fluval Spec 5 - and tried my hand at scaping and popped the little fish in it.

    3 weeks after that tank arrived, the bug has bit - and I'll get getting a Fluval Flex 57l as well.

    Now that, I want to scape properly for guppys ... hence my first question posted already :)

    Welcome and GL. :lol:

    USed to have at least 8 active tanks running once upon a time. I took a long break at one stage and last year got back into the hobby. Back then used to run a 4ft and 3 ft tank as my main setups and then had a bunch of smaller unique setups. Learned a lot at that stage.

    Now I've only gotten an 8ft setup and one small hospital tank and going strong for now. :tt2:

    This is a great forum to learn from hope the hobby brings you a lot of peace and joy!
