Hi All,
My name is Mike and I stumbled across this lovey little forum today. I kept fish as a kid some 25 years ago, all just your regular community fish and never had much luck with plants (other than Duckweed - always lots of Duckweed!).
I then got a tank given to me by an acquaintance about a year ago, and all of a sudden I have 6 tanks of varying sizes. I’ll attach photos with plant/fish stocking below. Beware I am not a photographer!
I’m really getting into the planted set ups with varying degrees of success. (I only found out substrate was a thing about 3 months ago!). I have had success with some (thank you Java Fern for being such a tolerant friend to me), and repeated failures (I’m talking about you Monte Carlo).
Really interested in getting info on different and more unusual plants. Also, if there are any other Irish fish keepers here, really interested in hearing about where you get your aquarium plants from, particularly more unusual ones. Seems to be a minefield since Brexit checks were enacted and I have struggled to find European suppliers where the importing is easier (although I am terrible at languages).
Looking forward to getting to know you all.
Mike
