Hi from Alberta - Canada

Hi, just wanted to introduce myself - a Kiwi (New Zealander) living in Red Deer - Alberta Canada. Have only just started fish-keeping (around 2 months ago) and am absolutely loving it (I fear that I will come down with MTS - multiple tank syndrome!) if I'm not careful!

So much to learn! It's great having a forum like this to ask all kinds of questions to those "in the know".

I only wish that this town had a specialty fish store instead of only the big chains!

Nice to meet you all
Lily

Hi Lily and welcome to FishLore,
Bit of a move from NZ to Canada.
MTS, mmm you know it all starts with just 1 tank and 1 fish lol
In your profile, you have ammonia and nitrite readings but no nitrates, are you still cycling?

hi, yes I'm still cycling the tank - it's been a much longer process than I first thought, but is well worth it to have a happy fish

I have every so slight nitrate readings (I think) but the colour difference is minute above the first colour (or it may be wishful thinking!!!) - using API test dropper kits

what is it you're looking for? I know quite a few good ones (not chain stores either) that have good quality fish for relatively cheap

one of the biggest problems I'm having is finding plants. every lfs I go to says the same thing they are still waiting for their shipment.

pices (Sp?) has the largest selection of FW plants in calgary, and usually if they don't have them in they can find them...just ask to talk to the plant manager...forget his name.

Riverfront has decent plants when they are in....and they'll always order stuff for me, so if there's something specific...just ask and I'll see what I can do

Welcome to Fishlore! You can also order plants online. I just ordered some off of Aquabid.

Welcome! If you haven't discovered it already plantgeek.com is a fantastic site for researching plants and finding out which ones will thrive in your tank.
