The Crunch
Hi, i'm from the central coast in nsw australia. Me and my girlfriend never would've expected to be obsessed with fish until we bought a juvenile pair of oscars at our local pet store 6 months ago and we've been hooked ever since. Our oscars El Vira (5inches) and La Vey (7-8inches) are our first and most loved fish they swiftly outgrew thier original tank ( a 2ft/16gallon) and are now living comfortably in a 6ft 95gallon tank. We also have a pair of jack dempseys (3+2inches) which i'm relatively certain are m+f and a quickly maturing red devil/midas named hellboy (3-4inches), a vieja synspilum (4-5inches), a chocolate pleco named hercules (5-6inches), a baby texas (1inch), 1 male bristlenose+2 females, 5 smaller clown loaches&last but not least our newest addition a baby flowerhorn <1inch.
Although our american tank is our masterpiece we also have a 5ft african set up with a breeding pair of rustys, a male electric blue, a male dragons blood, a male blue dolphin, 2 synodontis and a whole community of new rusty babies! Also in our original oscar tank we have a female convict&her partner who we aren't quite sure if he's 100% convict but he does the trick they are onto their 2nd lot of fry in as many months..
 
Welcome
 
Welcome to MFK....
Hey im also an Aussie LOL Tassie though.... wish i was up there where its 10 degrees warmer 99% of the time hahaha
wish you well here
 
Budgewoi, yeah i was wondering if i was the only one on the forum from the coast. Me and my girlfriend both work at westfield i guess it really is a small world.. Say, recommend any places to buy good fish around the area? We get pretty much all ours from long jetty they seem to be some of the only people in the area who actually know what they're talkin about.
 
ha ha yes but it is still only a total of 10 degrees here.

yeah Allcoast Aquariums Long Jetty are easily the best lfs on the Coast no exceptions, no i dont work there i just wanted to plug them cause they deserve it

there are heaps of other aussies on here too keep an eye out, havnt seen anyone else from the area tho
 
Yeah no one else really seems to know anything about fish at most other places or they all tell you different things. At long jetty if they don't know what they're talking about they'll tell you so. It sucks though we've been into it for a grand total of 6 months now and whilst we aren't experts we usually know a hell of a lot more than the average staff member at the other places so its hard to get good help.
 
man it is a small world! i work at westfield and shop at long jetty , and i live in budgewoi also probably only 5 houses down!
Wierd huh...
 
yeah very strange 'green terrorizer' if that is in fact your real name.. nice jag as your avatar, anyone i know? also fyi, i heard green terrors are actually kinda wussy you know?
