Hi From N. Ireland

Post by MichaelOverHere »

Hi, just joined the site after reading some of the "cat-elogs" and decided i quite fancied giving breeding a go.

I have 2 tanks but am in charge of 3
> A Starter 50L tank
> My Aunts (previously my old tank but still look after it for her) 80L tank
> My 180L tank.

All are community tanks.

My 180L is my latest project, and after some persuasion i ditched the plastic plants and finally some live plants & havent looked back.
The current tank mates are
> 10x Rummynose Tetra
> 4x Dwarf Gourami
> 7x Cory Trillineatus
> 10x Venezuelan Orange Cory (Which also go by Orange Bronze Cory (aeneus) i think)
> 3x Otos

Next stage of my project is to try to breed either the Trills or the Venezuelans & raise the fry. I currently have a 60L Hex tank sitting around which should be ok for a nursery or breeding tank, either that or my 50L starter tank which only has a few community fish (Guppies & neons) can be put into other tanks and use that.

Welcome to pcf!

Can you recommend any good shops in Ireland, preferable near Galway? I've been there a few times now, but never found a good shop.

Welcome aboard! Gouramis are one of my faves. But they seem to have fallen out of favor locally. Everyone wants cichlids! So I'm glad to see someone else keeping them too!
(Sorry, no idea about good stores near Galway.)
