Just joined...

Hello everyone,

I just found out about this place via the GSAS Airstone and I figured I would check it out. It's great to see a "local" forum of fish keepers...

Just getting started back up after 5 years without a tank! Going from having a fishroom to nothing has been horrible! I have moved a lot in the past 10 years or so, I am born and raised in SW WA, I moved to PA for a few years and then to CO then back to WA about 5 years ago but haven't had an opportunity to set a tank till a couple weeks ago.

I am planning on joining the GSAS and have met Roy (Seattle_Aquarist) and he has already helped me out tremendously (thank you again Roy!). I have been a member of the Aquarium Club of Lancaster County in Pennsylvania . While in Colorado I was a member of the Colorado Aquarium Society and served as the horticulture chairman and was also a member of the Colorado Killie Club.

Needless to say I have met a lot of great people in this hobby and I am looking forward to meeting more in this area! Looking forward to getting to know some of you!

welcome to the site!!!

hope you enjoy it Me and the other half are joing GSAS as well!!..

yay for another killifish lover!

Thank you, Kaosu! I picked up some Clown killies the other day I bought all that Sierra had, 4 3 are doing well and the 4th went MIA after the first night. I don't know if it jumped out of the tank where the filter cutout is or not or what, but I didn't find a carcass in or outside the tank! They are housed with some white clouds and cories so nothing that would eat one. Looks like I have 2 males and 1 female. I think I might set up a breeding tank for them soon and see if I can breed them even though the ratio of males to females isn't exactly on my side lol!

Very nice! Let me know if you want to get rid of a few pairs I would like to get some but at the moment I need to get some tanks set up for them, but I will definitely be interested soon!
