Been looking for awhile, and finally I post...

Hi guys and girls,

I joined this site because my brother and my good friend are members of this site. They like it here, so I thought I'd join. I'm not so much into the fishes as my brother and friend are, but I'm starting to get hooked.

I'm more of a planted tank guy. I don't have any big setup or anything, but when the money comes, I'll be doing a much bigger tank. Right now, I have a 5 gallon set up. Just low light plants, a few neons, and some cherry shrimp. Here are a few pics of the tank. Its not very pretty, but I'm working on it.

Hopefully I make more friends at this site. I'll try and post more, with only helpful things. See you guys/girls around!

I disagree, I think it looks good

In 20 posts, you'll be wanting to cram an arapaima into that 5 gallon. Welcome and start saving up.

You may already be in over your head. You joined a site, and it becomes an addiction..
Welcome aboard..

You guys are funny. Yeah, I know I'll become addicted to the hobby/lifestyle. I actually had a 55 gallon high light planted tank before, but decided to cut back a bit.

But seeing my brother's 100 gallon tank with 2 lemon oscars made me jealous...

Wow, thats very nice!
I spy a shrimp in the first two pics.

In case you haven't heard we both have 168's now
60"x25"x30"

Just got my 2x4's today. Will start frame tomorrow.

You know that I know he has the new 168. I didn't know if he wanted people to know. Now you have that, too? Why are you making me jealous?!

Did he finish his frame?

How much did you get it for? We were looking at a 75 Long on Saturday, and the wife likes it! Now I just gotta save up the money...

 

[LemonHead]

Oh yeah you were here & did the cutting. But yeah I got one & paid $260 for it w/ tops.
His frame is done, & he's skinning it today.

What are your plans for the 75long? Sticking with shrimp?
