Hello

[lynda orourke]

I am new to fish keeping, people keep giving me fish, so I thought I had better do some research on them

 

[Purrbox]

Welcome to the forum!

Always a good idea to research fish, preferably before aquiring the fish (which unfortunately isn't possible if your being gifted with them).

 

[lynda orourke]

Yes I was kind of chucked in at the deep end, but the fish are all alive and seem healthy

Welcome to AA. Glad you are here.

Welcome to AA! Glad you're doing your research, like Purrbox said, it's better that you do your research before you get them, but this is great site that will help you keep the fish you already have as healthy as possible.

Good luck : ) Keep doing your research! : )

We have different forums dedicated to specific topics - freshwater, saltwater, planted tanks etc - find one that fits your setup and fill us in on the details

Welcome, YOu're definately in the right place to learn everything you need to know and a whole lot more!

 

[lynda orourke]

Part of my problem is I dont really know what I've got. My latest accustion is a 25l marine tank containing some "living rock" a clown fish and another fish I haven't identifed, it has a trickle filtration system. But having read up on marine tanks I now think that a lot of what the guy that gave it to me said was wrong.

If you post some pictures of the coral and fish in the saltwater forums I'm sure the saltwater junkies could tell you and help you out. I'm a freshwater junkie myself - - Lord! this stuff is addicting

Welcome to AA! Free fish is a good thing to most of us here! Glad to have you aboard.

 

[lynda orourke]

Yes free fish are a good thing. I also have a 500l cold water tank (another gift) Thats doing really well even with the questionable fish it came with.

it has several large gold fish along with 2 buenos aires tetra.

I added 3 weather loach before Christmas and they are all doing well.
