    Hi.

    I'm new to fish keeping hobbie. About three weeks.
    I saved a Goldie and "Bubble eye" fish from a lady and just there the "bug" got to me.
    They had a very small tank (litres less than 40) and dirty too:cry::

    but this is their new home (100lt)

    Fish happiness increased by 500% :cool:

    As this was my first project decorating the tank I think I didn't do to bad.
    Already planning for a bigger tank.

    PS: 3 weeks into fishkeeping:p

    Hi Hansie!

    Welcome to TASA and the hobby! I see MTS already has its teeth in!

    Well done on giving those poor fishies a decent home! :top:

    The evolution of Hansies' tanks (EOHT). Take pictures of each consecutive tank to record the advancement of your newly found hobby, as your interest grows from a mild curiosity to an absolute obsession and uncontrollabe addiction. But before you embark on your aquarium rampage, first spend a few hours to read through old threads/discussions on the TASA forum. You will find a wealth of information, and of course don't be shy to mail your own questions. Welcome to TASA...

    Thank you very much. My 2 year old daughter love the tank. Just want to feed the fisher the whole time.

    For my next step I want to experiment with live plant tank. It just looks so much more alive and natural and calm and....

    And it's a lot more satisfying when you step back and see those plants healthy and your fish playing in them.

    Welcome to the forum. Hope you enjoy the site. :tee:

    Just watch out for over feeding.
    Also welcome to TASA. Great setup. I also started 3 months back and I am loving it.
