If this is posted in the wrong place!

Is this the right place to say "hi, just joined"?

if so...

Hi, just joined your forum and will be spending some time just reading all the info in here before posting any of my own!

In brief....

Juwel 180 Vision
Interpet prime20 external
planted (cheap CO2 system)

5 adult silver dollars (don't tell me off, I know)
2 pim pictus
1 bristlemose
2 Golden Barbs
6 Pristella Tetras
2,4,6,8 Guppies

Am fairly new to tropical fish (after a break from them) and only recently re-housed the pair of Silver Dollars I've had since babies (they were in a 10gall hex). Now I have 5 adults in my 180ltr bow. I believe I have 4 girls and 1 boy - but he doesn't seem to want to be a daddy:(

Stay tuned and after I've had a good look around I'll tell you more about them

hi :D Welcom to Aquaria Central and I hope u have fun reading the posts!!!
mt_marcy!
 
Welcome to AC. Sounds like a nice tank. Of course, with plants, the Silver Dollars will give you a run for your money, but I keep quite a few and find them to be excellent schooling fish for large tanks. Please post more pictures when you have the chance, we LOVE pictures. Much easier for some of us than those little, um, word thingys...
 
Thanks for the welcome, did someone actually ask me to post pictures? Harry, on your head be it!!

Sadly I lost the albino(ish) Golden Barb at the top - these fish have great characters

Thanks kveeti, and yes he is gorgeous (I'll get a pick of him now he is older).

As the topic title says "shoot me" cos I have decided to breed my guppies 'au natural' and don't put fry in a birthing tank. I'll let them give birth in the main tank and wait to see how may survive - so far 6 from 2 births. IMHO and in the words of an old favourite "only the stong survive" maybe thats why he is a good specimen? I hope his fry look as good, though its definatley going to be interbreeding. Maybe I should cycle my 10gall hex and turn it into guppy heaven?
