Hello from Sweden

[Skägget]

I have been reading treads from time to time here a couple of years but now I also have taken the step and registered me here. I have had baenschi, viejita and cacatuoides. Right now I have viejita II, but when the fry is big enough to sell I will go back to baenschi in that tank. I will also sell my cacatuoides and try agassizi instead. I consider myself as an experienced beginner, I have had apistogramma since the summer of 2009. Recently I´ve moved to a another apartment and have gone from seven down to four aquariums. Besides dwarfs, loricariidae is an another favourite of mine.

Welcome! Loricariidaes are a favorite of mine too. Are you on planetcatfish? What plecos do you have? I have L114, 600, 7 and 204.

Welcome from another long time lurker/ new member. I have been keeping fish for about 35 years and for 30+ of them my favorites have been cichlids and catfish.

What area of Sweden are you in? I occasionally travel to Almhult, Sweden for work, tried to get some time to check out the LFS scene in the area but was too busy.

Med vänliga hälsningar,

Scott

Yes I am on planetcatfish as well but on a low level of activity. Since I´m not having so many aquariums any more, I don´t have so many species either. Right now I only have L204, L015 and LDA023.

I live in the northern part of the southern half of Sweden, in a town called Fagersta. Aha so you are working in Älmhult, the place where IKEA come from. I guess you have to visit Växjö if you want to find a good LFS in that area.

I live and work in Minnesota, USA but the company I work for also has a factory in Älmhult. If I get some free time next time I am there I will definetly check out Växjö.

I have read about a shop called Tassar och Morrhår (paws and whiskers) in Swedish forums that is supposed to be OK in Växjö. Fun to hear that there is still a connection between Minnesota and Småland since so many migrated to Minnesota from Sweden over 100 years ago.
