Hi there folks
Just thought id drop in and say hello.
I've been fish keeping for six years now and most of my interests lie in Blood Parrot Cichlids (yes i know that they are frowned appon by loads of people) and Corys, I currantly have about 12 different species. I was recently fortunate enough to go halfers on the of purchase 4 Zebras with Dr P and hopefully we will soon get them breeding.
Nice site and I hope to get some posting done soon.

Nice selection i only have
C julii
C schwartzi
C panda
C paleatus &
Skunk Cory
I keep the in my discus tank, i will resist the temptation of winding up cory fans by saying to clean up the tank floor/ eat teh crap on the bottom, but that is what they do!! I'll tell you what though they can look after themselves when it comes to food time as they copete with the discus.

Tristan when I get the room im going to have an 8x2x2 tank for discus. I would love to have a tank of Red Turqs.

I know that they are not the most recent "trendy" strain of discus to keep but i do have a soft spot for red turqs.

This one was my favourite but was taken out by an effin' sucking loach that i put in there when one of my tanks burst. the damn loach chewed holes in him Arrrrghghgggghhhhhhhhh!!
, needless to say the sucking loach went in with malawis, and after no sign of physical damage, he went into my piranha tank. . - The only time i ever have /will feed a live fish to anything, but you know an eye for an eye sort of thing

Hey there fellow Edinburger !
Where do you live ?

Sods Law - I wish you were still in Porty, Rob - would have saved me a 4 hour round trip to collect the wee ones when they're ready !!
Unless you're up in the capital city often, that is ?
