Hi!

I'm new to the forum, been keeping tropical fish for about six months and have already fallen victim to multiple tank syndrome. My water here in the North-West of the UK is ideal for for South American fish, with a slightly acidic pH and virtually no hardness at all. I did a fishless cycle with Ammonia on all 3 tanks and they're progressing well.

Currently I have no Apistogrammas (what am I doing here?), but I do have a Bolivian Ram in one tank, and two Dicrossus filamentosus in another. I have a question to ask about them but I'll try to find the right place to post that.
I also have two shoals of rummy-nose tetra (different types), two shoals of cory and two small plecos.

Best Regards,

Paul Molyneux-Berry (Mol_PMB)

Welcome! You are very lucky to live in a soft water area, down south we have hard water and it is really annoying (concidering getting a RO system machine thingy)
Bolivian Rams are lovely, actually all Ram's are. I used to have two German blue rams and a pair of Golden rams.

Have an amazing time and good luck with your question.

Welcome to the forum! I'm glad you've joined our community!
Can't wait to see how your tanks get set up and filled with fish

Thanks for the welcome

I love my Bolivian Ram too, he is named Tiwanaku and here's a pic of him with some of his tank-mates in Tank 1:
