Greetings from Seattle

Hello everyone!

I am excited to have found this forum! My name is Jose and I live in Seattle. I started in the hobby about 10 years ago. Back then really got into it, but I had to move around for a while and had to put the hobby on stand-by until I got into a more settled down and found a bigger place.

The biggest tank I've had until now was a 29 gallon, but I just got hold of a 40 gallon breeder, and I´m very excited with the project! It´s going to be planted community tank with South American fish. I´m thinking a pair of dwarf cichlids, small schools of corys and tetras, and one or two ancistrus. I've never had angelfish, so I'm thinking that maybe I could add them instead of the dwarf cichlids. Anyone here keeping angelfish in a 40 breeder?

 

Anyhow, I´m just happy that I found the forum, and hope to be an active member; it really feels like a community here!

Cheers

PS Everybody loves pictures, so I´ll add some of my old aquariums. More to come when I get the 40 gallon up and running!

Hi there. Always great to have another person on the forum. I'm been in the hobby for only two years now. Btw I love your, guppy,shrimp,rummynose,bristlenose pleco,barb,apistograma agasisi fire red(correct me if I'm wrong), rams,panda cory, otocinclusand neon tetras. Those are some of my favorite fish ever. Also Its possible to keep angles in a 40 breeder but We revomebd 55. If you can inly use the 40 breeder use some caution with angles.

My goodness! We have a few threads that would love to have your photography skills! There is one for macros, one for photos that go through a watercolor filter, and another for just amazing shots.  Please feel free to search those.  Awesome work capturing all those colorations!
