  • Hello, Boxers!

    I'm Sasha, also known as Mnemenoi (Roy)'s honey...crossed over to the fish side and got my own log-on, finally! Fair warning, I'm terrible with Latin names and far from an expert, but I'm trying to learn all I can so you may see me asking silly questions here and there.
    In case you don't know from Roy, we've currently got:

    -a 10 gal low-tech planted tank with Cherry shrimp, Amano shrimp, Kuhli loaches, Von rio tetras, and various other stragglers that may or may not still be hiding in the plants somewhere.
    -a 35 gal tall Tanganyika community: Multi's, some Cypts and Orange Tylo's (thankya Tim!), Gobies, and a lone baby Frontosa. This tank was so fun to set up, it's my (our?) baby right now.
    -a (kids tank) 2 gallon pico that currently holds a very lonely Paradise fish and used to have 2 aquatic frogs who turned out to be suicidal and took a walk...we are trying to talk him into a shrimp tank, we shall see.
    -a 2.5 that we just set up for snail breeding, because...I'm in the market for a Fahaka puffer!
    -a 45gal deep tank has been cycling for months while we set up the tang tank and I did my research. (I've been lurking on the box for awhile! Lol) Oh, I've got the puffer bug, and bad! So we're all set and hope to bring home a fahaka sometime this week, the smaller the better for this tank and we'll move over to a 120 or so as he needs it.

    I'm glad to be here, for sure...see you around the Box!

          You are quite welcome! I like the avatar.

          Dorothy : How can you talk if you haven't got a brain?
          Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
          Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

            Thanks, Tim- I like yours as well. I love watching those Cypts eat, they are voracious little things! And it picks up the action in the tank in general, the Frontosa did start relaxing after we put the new kids in.

                  Be careful once that front gets big --- they eat cyps in the wild!

                    Yeah, I know, but we've got time. The smallest Cypt is bigger than that Frontosa!
