Chris McConnaughey Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Hi, I’m Christine(Chris), an American expat currently living/working in New Zealand. I have a planted 260 litre(65 gallon aquarium) with mollies,guppies, neons, whiptails, corys, and bristlenose. I’m really excited because the aquarium co op is now shipping to New Zealand, and I just placed my first order!!!!! 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_G Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Hi Chris. Spectacular looking tank! Welcome to the forum. Are there some cool fish you can get in NZ that aren’t available elsewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris McConnaughey Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Thanks. In general we’re actually more restricted in what species are available, like you aren’t allowed to have shrimp or nerite snails, but we can get arowanas. It also seems like rainbow fish are a lot more common then I remember them being in the USA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Axredx Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I love your tank its beautiful. Look at those long stem plants, I really love those plants. When they get real tall don't trim them, Place a small weight some where in the middle. The top will once again rise and the part that lays down sprouts more stems. Great job! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katherine Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Welcome to the forum! Your tank is beautiful. What's the plant all the way to the left? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Henry Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 Glad to have you aboard. I'm impressed with how well the tall stems are holding their lower leaves! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris McConnaughey Posted July 12, 2022 Author Share Posted July 12, 2022 Haha, I’m not sure what the plant is on the left because it came with the tank when I got 2 years ago. I thought maybe it was some kind of Bacopa? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
