Hello all, I'm Shaina...I've been keeping fish for 5 years now. I have been lurking MFK for a while now, and finally decided I should probably get rid of that notice on the top of my screen telling me to post :)

It's great to meet you all, and I have learned a lot already from perusing the archives...always looking forward to learning more :)

My fish/tanks:

Hollywood the Betta in his 10 gal:

29 Gal Planted, all overgrown at the moment. SA tank: houses a juvenile Angelfish, 2 pr Bolivian Ram, 7 Neon Tetra, and 3 Otocinclus.

Male Bolivian Ram (Microgeophagus altispinosa) from the 29:

And the reason I haven't trimmed back my 29 for a while...don't know if I will want to use trimmings in my new tank, the 90:

Ordered supplies for the 90 this morning, actually, and will be building a sump for it once the supplies arrive (want to have the actual pump here before I start siliconing anything). Looking at stocking CA cichlids, though *which* ones are still up in the air. I love Jags, but sadly the tank's still way too small so we shall see.


Thanks for looking :)
 
:welcome:to MFK. Nice tanks! hope to see your 90g up and running soon.
 
Welcome to MFK ,love your setup, looks like your a pro already.
 
Thanks guys :)

The 29 is always a work in progress, lol. The biggest challenge with the 90 is settling on a stocking list, lol...there's just too many to choose from. I've considered doing a discus tank or Severum (SA, I know), JDs, EBJDs, Salvini, Firemouth...

I'd rather have just a few fish that are really interesting than a large number of generic fish...I probably won't be 100% sure what I want to do until I actually buy the fish and quarantine them, lol.
 
welcome to MFK... pleasure to meet you Shaina and love your tank set ups... and that 90 is going to be stunning... love the wood work on it... glad you decided to officially join and hope to see you around... let me know if you have any questions... enjoy!:D
 
Thank you for the lovely welcome sign, Red_Devil, lol

I was very fortunate as I got the tank second hand...the guy that built the canopy and stand does carpentry work, but then had to move... :D
