Well said MP, might I add that if you have a question and wish to start a thread please read the sticky's at the beginning of the relevant forum and give as much info about your tank/fish/problem as possible, even if it doesn't seem relevant. Thanks

and good luck

Georgia Peach · 10-17-2005, 06:41 AM

I agree. there is nothing worse than foul language as far as I am concerned. It will definately give a bad impression.

hanunxx · 03-18-2006, 03:19 PM

Hi everyone!! My name's Hanung and I'm from Jakarta, Indonesia, and this is my first posting. I've been collecting fish since I was probably, 10 or 11, and recently I just opened a freshwater fish shop in Jakarta. It's really cool to know that there's a forum for the fish lovers' community, and I hope that we can share infos about most aquarium related stuffs and all that.
oh yeah, btw, I have 6 of 90cmx90cmx60cm tanks, and mostly I collect predator fish, and few kinds of catfish, such as corys, synodontis, driftwood cat, and some plecos as well...
and one more thing, since I'm new here, would anyone is kind enough to teach me how to upload a picture, or at least direct me to the link where it's about uploading pics...
thanks again

Hi I am from Minnesota and I have had fish since the early 80's off and on. I enjoy them alot. Right now I have a 20 gallon with rainbow cichlids and clown pleco and horseface loach and skunk botia and some corys a bumble bee cat and banjo cat. My husband has a 75 gallon with large cichlids. He has a severum that was called a common severum but it doesn't look like what we had before. I was wondering if anyone can tell me anything about the turquoise severum. Thanks this is a cool site.

Hey everyone, im new here, and i just wanted to say hey!

Ringo · 01-07-2007, 01:30 PM

Hey tigerbarb. Welcome to the forums!
Don't be afraid to start a new thread in this part of the forum for introducing yourself. Thats what it is for! You know, tell us about your tanks, how long you've been into fish keeping, and if you wanted a little bit about yourself.

Kyoberr · 01-12-2007, 07:50 AM

I think people who swear are insecure. Fishforums looks pretty cool. Coolio.

**Scuba Kid** · 01-12-2007, 12:40 PM

No, people who swear are usually angry.

**Osiris** · 01-12-2007, 12:45 PM

but i swear when im happy, technically that means i know how to speak French

**Scuba Kid** · 01-12-2007, 04:17 PM

lmao.

nice Marty.

maxpayne_lhp · 01-12-2007, 08:40 PM

lol holy crap! i just realized that this thread 2 years old already!

Anyways y'all dont consider 'holy crap' as swearing right... cause i accidentially said that in church last Sun

Kyoberr · 04-04-2007, 12:17 PM

A) Offensive language = offensive = bad

Scuba Kid, keeping the above (complicated, only someone as smart as me can figure it out) equation in mind, it sounds like people swear when they are happy and mad, so they are just trying to offend people all the time. That makes a ton of sense.

Offensive language doesn't offend me as much as most people would hope it does, but the intent being the words is what is offensive.
