Hello from Australia

Hello, I cannot believe I have never actually registered with this forum. I mean I am always snuffling through the Cat-eLog and Shane' World.
Well situation rectified; I am now a member. :D
Being relatively new to fish keeping my tanks are small 12 inches, 18 inches, 18 inches, 24 inches, 36 inches. Yep that's all 5. :)
My bottom feeders are one pretty big SAE, 6 kuhli loaches, 4 clown loaches, 7 common bristlenosed catfish and 3 whiptails (which I am trying to figure out exactly what sort).
I will post some pics in the ID section of the forum if anyone could help me out I would be really grateful. :)

Welcome - you'll find that this is a great forum. You might want to join loaches online as well. You'll have to start thinking about a much larger tank for your clown loaches at some point - they grow to about a foot and live a long time. I'm in the same boat as you are and I am planning to get a 120 gal next year.

Hi Brengun!! Welcome! I am new too, it's great here! As you already know!

I was in Queensland once, to go to Steve Irwins Zoo in 2004.

Lovely country you're from!

Thankyou for the warm welcome everyone. :D

Andy you are one up on me in visiting Australia zoo as I have often driven past but never actually gone in. The thought of bities and slitheries doesn't really appeal. I might go tho if they had something cute like merecats. :)

As to the clown loaches, they were purchased from the lfs to eradicate my pond snail infestation. The lfs will accept them back when they get big (we agreed prior to my purchasing).
