DragonCat Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi, I am new. I currently only have two goldfish which live outside in a fish pond. I would like to start up an aquarium so am doing a lot of research. Love bettas, loaches and catfish, but like the look of something else everytime i got to a pet store so who knows what I'll end up with. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hey dragoncat, welcome aboard and great to see that you're sensible enough to do the research before buying the fish (unlike me...). Lots of good info in the resources page and the library section of the general discussion forum. If so many fish peak your interest, you may soon find yourself the victim of what most of us on this forum suffer from... Multiple Tank Syndrome. It's OK, it's a painless condition... Sort of!!!

DragonCat Posted June 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Thanks for the welcome! I will check out those pages. Yeah..I am pretty sure I have a problem...first I thought it might be nice to get a betta...then I saw the variety of colours and styles and thought maybe I could get a couple (separated of course)....then maybe a tank with ghost catfish and kuhli loaches...now I am thinking about a very large tank with Oscars and Clown loaches, but that is very far away!!! I had lots of bad luck with fish growing up so think I could just be overly optimistic. :embarrass: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
les Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi Dragoncat Prier preperation prevents poor performance So it would seem you will start of realy well good luck with your surch for the ideal Bettas are a good place to start and can be quite interactive Like feeding with chopstix Which you dont have to do but its a good trick to show your friends Cheers Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fletch Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Welcome Dragoncat. Don't be afraid to ask questions, there is sure to be someone with an answer or at the very least, an idea. Have a good look around, plenty to read and lots of pics as well. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BettaObsessed Posted June 13, 2011 Report Share Posted June 13, 2011 Welcome Dragoncat. You'll find so much information here and if you can't find it, just ask As for Multiple Tank Syndrome - painless until you get the power and water bill :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
