Hello everyone,

Like the heading says, not new to fish keeping but new to this forum.
Been keeping fish longer than I can remember, worked the the aquatic trade in a few shops over 15 years. Last shop I worked at closed last closed last may and I went into pest control. But recently a job was offered to me back in aquatics and I’ve accepted it.
Thought I’d jump back into forum life.
Kept many things over the years, cold water tropical, marine.
Not got any photos of old tanks, but had things from 19l to 100l, currently look after an 80l tropical community at my in-laws place, but they want it shut down now , sad face

Hopefully moving soon and be getting a pond and maybe a tank indoors, but hoping to have a fish room/shed down the garden.

Thanks for reading this nonsense
Regards Daz

There's plenty of that here, usually started by someone northern car valeter, waving his soggy chamois leather plus the Welshmen and his coloured sheep. :dodgy2:

I hope you noticed his own nonsense in that post Iain. "Started by someone northern valeter" even my dodgy mackem accent makes more sense than that!

Do we really love him?









Of course we do. :D
