Hello! New board member here from Michigan

feeds@yuku.com (Nyx) — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 07:10:23 GMT

Hello everyone! My name is Amanda, I'm 27 years old and I live in a suburb of Detroit, MI. I currently have 3 ADFs and a crown tail betta. I had a veil tail betta for about 3 years who recently passed away. I've been keeping fish on and off since high school, and this is my first foray into keeping frogs. I've been looking for a forum where I could connect with other frog owners, and after a couple false starts I think this may be the place for me. Everyone here seems helpful...

Hey y'all!

feeds@yuku.com (gooshabi) — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 17:30:32 GMT

I am new to F'n'F and message boards in general really! So please forgive me if I lack forum etiquette. Just call me out and I will correct my behavior ; )

I am also new to everything aquatic. I am about to get some African Dwarf Frogs along with a nerite snail so I've got some questions that I will be posting in the appropriate places. I've been reading many MANY conversations on this site for the past three weeks and found a lot of helpful information.

So...

hey from blondeyny!

Hello everyone!! I am originally from Upstate NY, moved to FL about 5 years ago. My dad used to breed fish before I was born, but that was eons ago. I had tanks before, but never really knew the "correct" way of doing it. Fish keeping has changed dramatically since my dad used to do it. I got frustrated with it since I didn't know what I was doing, and stopped keeping fish for many years, until now. My boyfriend suddenly wanted a betta this past Christmas and then that turned...

Hello from the Bluegrass State

feeds@yuku.com (IntellectualSlime) — Fri, 25 Sep 2009 13:31:04 GMT

Hello there! My name is Syd, and I'm new to the Flippers 'n' Fins community, though not to fish keeping. I am a twentysomething who currently works in an automotive part factory in a little town in central Kentucky, and my critters help keep me sane (though my mother, I think, would not agree ).

Currently, I am owned by three rescued, meant-for-bait goldfish in a thirty gallon tank (two comets and...

Hi, my name is Jasmine, I am from New York.

A have always loved animals and nature. I grew up taking care of rabbits, large fish, iguana, turtles, cats and hamster's. Over the years though I had stopped. I have just recently decided to start caring for animals again!

Hi everyone! I'm a poor college student When I'm with my parents I have Jelly Bean (yes ... like the candy!) who we adopted from the shelter a couple years ago, even though we told our dad we were "just looking." I also have a cockatiel named Sophie who is about 2 years old and talks up a storm (Hello pretty bird! Sophie, pretty bird? Pretty pretty pretty pretty. Hi kitty!). And last but not least my adorable...

Hello Every One from the Oldest Salt

feeds@yuku.com (Amphibious) — Thu, 07 May 2009 06:09:58 GMT

To do a complete bio would likely bore you to tears. SO, suffice it to say, I've been involved with aquariums for 62 years and strictly marine for the last 39 years. I set up my first marine aquarium in 1966 by 1970 I'd sold all my freshwater aquariums and have been strictly salt ever since. To say I'm captivated by marine critters would be an understatement. I've always been a hobbyist but have also sold them retail and wholesale, installed and maintained aquariums for bars,...

Anyone else?
It's fun!
I'm curious who else of you might be out there - post your usernames here if you want to!

Thanks!

tumor?

feeds@yuku.com (elginhaus) — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 05:46:12 GMT

Patti has had a tumor/growth for a month. I took him to the LFS when it first appeared. I was given M & MII to treat. I was told that if it was internal, he would be dead in a week. I didn't want this in ER because he is not distressed with it. I just would like to know if anyone has seen this before.

Its definately tumor looking. Water params are always zero. He was in 1 1/2gal with twice weekly 100% water changes. He's now in the 2 1/2 gal rectangle discussed...

Hello ;-)

feeds@yuku.com (Mad Duff) — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 16:15:43 GMT

Just thought I would say Hello and introduce myself.

My name is Mark and I am 36 and started keeping fish when I was 6 with a humble goldfish, I am now a confirmed loachaholic and have bred 6 species to date.

I currently have 8 tanks running including a 250 gallon Loach community tank and a 6000 gallon Koi pond, hopefully over the summer I will have another 6 or 7 tanks up and running for my planned breeding projects.

Hello from Danville, CA!

feeds@yuku.com (adamszoo) — Sun, 01 Mar 2009 21:53:13 GMT

Hi there, I'm Linda and I am just re-joining the fish hobby after a long while. I had a 2 and 10 gallon aquarium at one point, and have had a Betta almost always since my then-fiance' now husband of 20 years gave me one as a present. For the past 3 years I haven't had a Betta. (I don't know why!) Now I've moved to a home that has a large wet-bar counter backed by a mirror, and we don't drink, so I realized it's the perfect place for aquatic life!

Greetings from central Illinois

Hello, Everyone! When I found this site, I darted for the ER, but now that I'm looking around, thought it was time to make an introduction. My name is Tricia, and I live in a very small town in central Illinois. I've always had a soft-heart for animals...grew up on a farm (even had a pet pig!) and have pretty much had animals my entire life. I'm a single mom with 2 kids, and I do home daycare (kids ranging from 9 months - 10 yrs). I've found that the kids learn a lot just by...

Hi everyone!
I'm Caroline, I'm 21, female and live in Birmingham UK.
I found this forum after spending quite a lot of time googling for information about the ADF's I plan to get in a week or so -and seeing as you guys seem to be somewhat fountains of knowledge on the subject I thought I'd better join.

I'm from a family of animal lovers, with 4 pet dogs, 2 rabbits, 4 chickens, 30+ finches, Lovebirds, Quails, Finches, hamsters, 3 fish tanks

Eggs in tank disappear!

feeds@yuku.com (Michella) — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 12:05:52 GMT

Hi everyone! I noticed I always have eggs stuck to everything in my tank in the mornings. The day after I notice there is no egg anymore, but something that is small and white that has a tail and curled, and then it just hangs there until I notice it disappears. Does anyone know what the issue is? Thank you!

Welcome!
