Hi.

After about 11 years out of the hobby, I'm just getting back into it with a little nano tank with some chili rasboras and shrimp. Before taking a break I kept fish for about 15 years and kept many of the common small community barbs and tetras as well as Apistogramma. Biggest tank I had was a two footer.

I expect to be moving house next year and will then hopefully be able to requisition a room as my man cave and fill it with a few tanks. Not sure what I intend keeping yet, as it will depend on what tanks I can accommodate. but I'd like to keep a large community tank, and I would also like to keep dwarf cichlids again, as well as perhaps a shell dweller tank, and I may even have a look at some larger cichlids as well.

I look forward to participating in this forum and learning new things.
