Hi! I'm Tails from Cape Town, South Africa thumbs2:

I used to have fish yeeeeears ago when I was about 12yrs old (give or take a year, might have been younger) that consisted of 3 goldfish, Goldy, Ruby and Emerald (yes, can u tell I was young and unimaginative lol :P). Goldy passed away which led to another two additions of Bubble (Black Moore, what else :P) and Squeak. It was a small tank (10l i think), with fake plants, and a No Fishing sign lol.

Now, years later (I'm 23) I'm saving up to get a planted tank with guppies (my friend is working on her own lines) and maybe a pleco or two of some sorts lol. Edit: ok turns out I was thinking of an oto (?) and they're not that common where i am lol so I guess just guppies then :P

Of course I will update everyone when I finally have my tank, though it may be a while.

Meanwhile, I'm going to get used to browsing a fish forum (i'm used to rat forums - no kidding! I own 4 girls, and have subsequently started a South African Rat Club which is going very well. Its co-managed by my aforementioned friend who breeds guppies - the link is in my sig, and on the site is a link to my forums) :) Any links to planted tank pictures would be great. I'm thinking of black gravel, and need some landscaping ideas (will probably be a 30l tank, so not that big)...

Thanks guys! What a warm welcome! Yeah the rat in my avatar isnt one of mine - I was looking for one to fill the avatar gap in the meantime....I'll be changing it soon though :)

Yeah, so Apple (one of my rats) is going in for a tumour removal operation which is costing around R600 so my tank will have to wait quite a while.....if you remember, pls send good vibes for us tomorrow for the op - thanks!

Apple's op went fine, thanks everyone for the wellwishes! She's all shaven, but she's tumour-free now!
