Hi guys, I'm new here, been on this site a number of times looking for advice but only just decided to register myself

I'm 18 years old, live in England, and my aquarium is my prized possession

My dad had many large tanks a few years back with pacu's, piranhas, plecs, catfish and cichlids and I decided to follow in his footsteps after developing an emotional attachment with a large black piranha called Ollie that he had from when I was a child. I started off with a goldfish aquarium (Ronnie and Reggie Kray, named because my parters grandfather was friends with the infamous Kray twins in their day) but after Ronnie (my favourite, a beautiful sarasa) passed away from costia I gave Reggie to my mother in law and started up my own tropical tank, which I love with all my heart! I'm here to both give where I can and receive advice. I was gutted when Ronnie passed away and I'd do anything in my power to prevent it from happening again, so I think this site is perfect for me

Myself and my partner also have a kitten, a rat, a hamster and a boa constrictor as family pets.
