Hello fishy friends!

Hi to all, nice to be here!

My name is Lara, and I am a beginner really although I have kept fish in one way or another since I was a kid (with a fish pond). I am currently obsessed with learning as much as I can and figuring out how I can afford to expand this amazing hobby! I currently have only one heavily planted 60L tank with 6 zebra danio's, a pair of bristlenose catfish and about 70 of their babies (so there is a bit of a crisis currently in my tank as you can see)! In the past I have kept Betta's and mystery snails. In the future I'd like to keep raspora's, rainbow fish, cardinal and rummy-nose tetra's, maybe discus, oto's and cory's and a tank just teaming with ghost shrimp! However, I'm mostly interested in creating beautiful aquatic environments and adore few things more than an amazingly planted tank!

I'm a single mum to Isobel who is one and I'm studying to be an art teacher. In the past I have owned (one) and operated (many other) health food stores and have an interest in food as medicine. I'm into music and song-writing, want to learn to scuba dive and love, love, love the beach from outside and inside the water!

Thanks for having me here

Lara

Welcome Lara, Hope you stick around!

I was going to create a biotope in my 125 resembling waters in Northern Australia, but I'm postponing it for a year or so when I set up a permanent home (300Gallon) for my Saratoga. Until then I'm going to keep it mildy planted with low maintenance plants.
