Never Introduced myself! :O

Hi everyone...
I'm Chelsea, I'm nearly 21. I have keeping fish since I got little plastic tank with a shubunkin for my brthday in 6th class. I learned quite quickly that they needed space and decided to save for a tank as his poor little spine began to deform. He died a bit before I got the new tank. I then had a molly, a sucker, a guppy and a neon tetra, the poor little things.......
Ever since getting them, I have been hooked! (No pun intended)

I love Guppies, Betta Splendons and want to try many more fish....... My biggest challenge is space....... My mom won't let me have any more tanks and I only have a 50 and 20! I have had the 20 liter since I was in 6th class and got it with my confirmation money.

Horses are my passion and I'm trying to work as a professional photographer.

Good luck with your ambitions, Chelsea. Horses are a passion of mine as well, but I had to stop riding.
Bill

Oh I'm so sorry.
I had to stop too due to my disability but can do light riding in moderation.

Welcome Chelsea.

We've already chatted here...............but here's an official welcome.

If you want to chat about photography then please bring the subject up.

+1 on official welcome

Embrace the challenges, there are many great nano set ups possible

Tom

Welcome to the forums

Start hiding tanks in wardrobes and the like lol. there is always room for fishtanks

Not a bad idea Sukahn! Fish stuffed in every corner. My boyfriend would kill me over the noise!


Problem is Helix, I want loads of nano set ups!

Well i started off with a 136l tank, then got a 86L within a few weeks lol. A year and a half later i got a 700L and now just after setting up another 450L.

It helps that my better half loves marine fish so she is in charge of picking and is the main one feeding as i work nights My little girls love the tanks too, more so since the larger tank went in.

Welcome, now where could I fit another tank is a thought on everyone's mind I think.

Pretty much as Sukahn said, get them involved and they hook up too.

It was challange to convince my wife for bigger tank and then she moaned when I was selling it all cause I switched from cichlids to planted tank

Well they're considering letting me set one up and I'm getting my mom involved by allowing her to pick the theme and some fish breeds.

What could I do with a 700l? hmmm (goes into dream land) I'd definitely get sand and Khuli loaches

Even if we lived in mansions!

If I loved in a mansion and won the euro millions I already have my whole tank in my mind designed and ready to go. Now to do the euro millions tonight

Welcome!!!

Only one? xD

Well it's going to be a monster tank lol, built into a wall, have 2 levels and be about 4meters long lol. Seen one on Facebook before and I'm in love with it lol.

That would be my main display tank, then I'd have a few other tanks that would be specific breed tanks, but they would all be marine.

Very under-rated little fish.

So Chelsea , i guess your ideal tank would be big enough to put a horse in with a camera hanging around its neck .

No no Robert.... big enough for a good sized riding arena

What you need is a seahorse tank and double stack them to save space lol
