Hello from Wisconsin

adieu · 01-26-2006, 11:47 AM

Hello everyone, I'm new to the forum and just wanted to introduce myself. I'm from central Wisconsin and I heard about this forum from a Petsmart employee. I have had fish 10+ years, but it's probably only more recently that I've been doing fish "the right way." I am currently obsessed with African Cichlids, more specifically those from lake Malawi. I currently have three aquariums set up, a 65G with mostly mbuna, a 25G with some young pea****s and a little 5G betta tank. I have had a lot of the "basic" fish over the years. Angelfish and tetras and the like. I even had a breeding pair of angels for awhile. Now I am very interested in cichlids, and my current project is the construction of an all male pea**** show tank.

Wow, strong filters on this site. I can't even say the name of my fish. From now on I'll have to refer to them as the genus Aulonocara. lol

Hey Marty! I wondered if anyone from the other forum would be on here. Yes, I am looking forward to picking up my little Eureka, and then I'll be able to put a face to the name! Are you still planning on Sunday? I'm also picking up some labs from Steve tomorrow. I'll see you next week!

**Fishfirst** · 01-26-2006, 12:13 PM

LOL, there are a lot of Wisconsinites around here. Hello FishFirst, I think you're also friends with my friend Jeremy. I was rambling about fish one day and he said he had a friend who did saltwater and worked at Petsmart, is that you?

I know! I told him he could have a cage I'm not using. lol He said it was a hamster though, lol he's in for a suprise. I told him he should name it Cyclops or Pirate, lol or Lena from Futurama.

**Fishfirst** · 01-26-2006, 12:30 PM

lol, I think he might have just gotten it confused

adieu · 01-26-2006, 12:41 PM
