    Forum Name...Kev777

    Location...Menlo Park, Pretoria

    Number of Years in Hobby...10 Years

    Fishkeeping Profile...I was an avid fishkeeper up to the early 2000's and have now gone from 0 to 8 tanks in one month. A few must still be cycled and set up. I want to start breeding cardinals, plecos, angels, corys, etc. Just started breeding with shrimp and I am hooked already!!!

    Favourite fish species...Corys, tetras, clown loaches, plecos and most livebearers

    Favourite LFS...Petstop Rietfontein and Family Pet Center Centurion

    Aquatic Likes...Watching healthy fish and plants reproduce in my tanks

    Aquatic Dislikes...Fish retailers that are only in for the sale and not combined with passion

    Aquatic Achievements...No major ones yet, hope to get the breeding to brag later

    Non-fish related fact...Love my family (incl. my Staffie)

    Other Hobbies...Growing Microgreens (on the back burner until all tanks are running)

    Welcome to the Forum

    Nice tank.
    Are those some sort of Silver Dollars?
    They will probably end up eating the plants at some point.

    Yes they are silver dollars. I'm currently sourcing a CO2 System as my plants are taking shots . I hope that will boost the plants again.

    I'll do that. Trying to get the parents now. Seller still thinking about it. It's on my list to try and breed for this year. I also got a decent sized bristlenose male today. Now I just need a mature female
