Hi all. Have been reading and enjoying this forum for a few weeks now,so thought I better say g'day.I returned to fishkeeping about a year ago,I was into it as a teenager back home in New Zealand in the mid '80s.Things have really changed in fishkeeping since then!I have 4 tanks at the moment.Very fond of corydoras,have 6 species at the moment,still in process of setting up the tanks.I look forward to learning from you all and sharing my experiences as well.

Hi Jon,yeah i do have a few pics,don't know if i would embarrass myself posting them though!i will keep practising and then maybe.i usually take my camera diving and got plenty of photos of marines that are popular in the hobby when i was diving at sipidan and mabul off borneo,however its just a cheapie and the photos are blue in tropical waters,green in irish waters,with a lack of colour in the fish.

Hello Dave, as Karen mentioned I'm a big fan of Corydoras too. Would like to keep more varieties but sadly i just don't have the space for them in my tanks at the moment. Its good to see another Corydoras fan on the forum. Welcome m8

thanks jackpike.i am a member of www.corydorasworld.com costs 15pounds a year,but is interesting enough,money well spent. i lived in scotland for three and a half years,love the place,would love to move back there,was in dalwhinnie for 2 and a half yrs,then inverness for a year. can sympathise with the space problem.i have a very good 6.5x3.5m shed,which i hope to line out as a bit of a "lads room",when i can afford it.then more tanks!
