    Hi there Folks!

    I am fairly new to this Forum, although know many of you from other Forums which shall reamin nameless in the interests of the monopolies commision! So without further adoo, as requested, here's a littel about myself....

    I'm ME, and live in Cape Town, but am originally from Liverpool in the UK! I've been out here for just over 5 years, and have to say I love this country despite its complications!

    I am currently a volunteer worker at a church, due to spouse permit constraints I was unbable to work out here, but I now have perminent residency, so can get a job! I'll prob get oen eventually!?

    In terms of work, I am a Sound Engineer, Photographer, Bass Guitarist and General Ass!

    Back in the UK, I kept cold water fish, but usually the likes of Tench, Carp, Loaches and Dace rather than your typical goldfish etc! I got married (9 years now) and didn't keep a tank for a long time, but then over 1 year or so ago, I decided to revisit fish! I had always wanted to keep tropical fish, but never had the money for setup, so I bit the bullet!

    I have learnt a lot very quickly, and lost a number of fish early on, but seem to be getting things more right nowadays, and am now expanding my horizons to breeding Apistogrammas of various species!

    I am currently running the following tanks....

    1.2m Community Tank.
    1.2m breeding tank (divided into 3 chambers.) Awaiting Apistos!
    Awaiting 3 smaller breeding tanks (48cm x 42cm x45cm) for more Apistos. 2 will be used for growing out!
    35L corner tank (at my place of volunteer working)

    I also had a 315L Corner tank which I cracked, so thats off for repair before going off elsewhere!

    Anyhow thats about me!

    Thanks for reading!
    Cheers
    Big G!
