I used to have a aquarium in long back (i was 10 years old) but was accidentally broken.
However I am very much interested to have a new aquarium. So I have joined this community so that I can learn from the experts and start my own.

Hi All,

I am an IT professional by profession working with Wipro for the last 10 years. I started keeping fishes from i guess 2006, hence having a small experience with fishes. At present I have 2 fish tanks, one a smaller one of around 2 ft. which has tetras mainly with live aquatic plants, but the best part is the Electric blue ram which are electrifying . The other tank is around 5 ft in length and have many aquatic fishes, the best one is a pair of parrot fishes.
I am at present in kolkata for the last 5 years, but not sure for how long i will be here.
I would like to know more about the species and would also like to share experiences hence joined the group.

Regards,
Pratip

Hi guys; I am Subhaditya. Before my intro, I must take this opportunity to thank KAC founding members who conceived this amazing idea of forming this group. A little something about me. Like most, I loved keeping guppies in Horlicks jars when I was a kid. Although I had a small tank with few plecos and gold fishes, unfortunately I wasn’t able to do much about taking this hobby further as I had to leave Kolkata for my studies. I am presently working in Qatar in a power plant since 2009. It was only last year when my passion of fishkeeping again lit up. I am presently trying to balance my interests between aquascaping and fish keeping, both being very close to my heart. I am so glad to be a part of this club and have no words enough to appreciate you guys who literally have taken fishkeeping in Kolkata to a new level. Its always great to meet some people who are as insane as me Keep it up guys .
Cheers!!!

Introduction. This might sound a little illiterate to you guys, but I can't seem to find the option of introducing myself. I see the topic but not the link/ option
Need a little help

[vijay.sadasivan]

Sorry guys. Didn't mean to do that. My name is Vijay and I'm from Bangalore. Ian 34 yrs old and work for a NBFC. Have always been into aquariums and fish keeping right from my childhood. I currently own a 5x2x2 planted Discuss take. I did have Another layout with short grass as the foreground which I brought down and decided to try my luck on Monte Carlo & and Discus and that's how I reached where I am today. I currently own around 25+ pieces ranging from 3 -7 inch and a few other Tetras in that tank. I do have some concerns but nothing urgent. Will bring it up during. The course of time. I have attached a few snaps of how my tank looked before I took it down and now.

That's for now. Looking forward to what lies ahead.

Cheers

Vijay Sadasivan (
