New fish here!

Hola/Hi everyone

I'm Lydia and I moved from Spain last year with my husband and my dog, now I have two adopted cats also. Besides animals I like tv shows, cooking/eating spanish food, playing videogames and reading graphic novels.


I've thinking about buying a fish tank since I used to have one (-200l) some years ago in Spain (now I had to sell it because my parents needed to get rid of it and I could not bring it here since is a mess so this has been definetely a detonator).

The tank I'm looking for can't be too big because I don't have really too much room (for now.. ), so I'm looking for a 180l.

I've been reading a lot of info here very helpfull, wish I have found this in past years when I had the ocurrence of buying 3 pairs of cichlids for my community tank (first time I saw such colorful and no marine fishes)...and that was fraking apocalyptic

So right now I don't have a tank, I have to check one with a guy this weekend and let's see if I have luck and can start with it soon. I will be keeping you informed and for sure I will ask for advice.

Sorry for my english, is not quite good.

Bienvenida, Welcome!
What fish are you thinking of getting?

Welcome to the Forum Lydia.
I don't think your English is 'not quite good' it seems OK to me.

I wish you luck in your plan to get a 180l tank over the weekend. Please let us know how you get on.

If you do have any questions needing answers just ask away, someone will be able to advise you, I'm certain.

I was thinking about a male betta, about 10 cardinal neon, some mollys, 4 corys and some shrimps.
Do you think it will work?

Thanks both for your welcomes

Hey thanks , yes I can see there is a lot of knowledge here, it's great I found the forum. I will be well advised for sure.

I already have my tank , I picked it up this afternoon from a guy who I contacted on Tuesday he was keeping it for me until I checked it.

Your spanish is fine, I understand you perfectly.
Have you been living in Spain or did you learn by yourself?

Thanks Andreas . I've been having a look at your blog, you have interesting DIY things and the community tank that is more than 30 years old is impresive, did you bought all the cardinals or had your own fry?

Thanks Lydia, that explains my one blog view this week
That tank is not mine, it's my father's tank but i do know that he bought 100 cardinals at one time. I have no idea if they reproduced in the tank but he certainly did not breed any deliberately, good point though i'll have a look and see if i can spot some smaller ones when I'm over the next time.

Thanks anglecichlid. I think I watch it once a year, thats because the lack of good movies I've been suffering these last years (main reason I started watching more Tv series than movies).

Melander the week have just started, you'll have more visitors for sure. Some years ago when I had my community-cichlid crazy setup my cardinals breeded so I imagine that in your father's tank would be easy for them.
