Hi everyone.
Im Neil. Im 39 from Nottingham.
I have recently become an Aquarium owner, and I have a regret about it. the regret is that I didnt get one sooner! Myself and a friend bought one off Ebay, and I am hooked. Richard already has a small Aquarium, but wanted a bigger one. We decided to go halves on one.
It came with quite a few fish in it, but I/we have added to it.
I have pretty much identified all that in it now, and am documenting in a folder all the information I can find on them. I am laminating the pages I print, and keeping them in a dedicated folder. I am keeping record of when the fish were bought as well.
There are a couple that are as of yet not identified, one of which looks liek Piranah! Im assuming they are not (3 of) as they dont eat the others.
The other is a Pleco. Its black with very sligt brown mottled markings on it. I keep looking at pictures, but am yet to see one that I can say looks the same as ours.
Im sure I will be a regular visitor here. I will post up what we have in the tank, and include pictures.
Looking forward to joining this community.
All the best, Neil.

Welcome to AC.

Looking forward to hearing about your tanks and fish. Asking questions in the proper threads will get you more responses. Not too many folks make it to the introcduction threads, unfortunately.

Pictures will also help in indentification.

Welcome aboard to the Aquatic community. I hope you and Richard continue to become more involved in fish keeping. Good luck with your fish identification process.
