Hi everybody,
My name is Josh - just joined on here about a week or 2 ago, and I must say I am very impressed with the forums here, as well as the large Australian Discus community that I never knew existed!
I am 23 and live in Brisbane, and have been in the aquarium hobby full on for about 12 years now. Going through the typical cycle, goldfish (as a kid!), assorted tropicals, heavily into African Cichlids for at least 5 years, then had a stint in keeping Marines for about 4 years.
I have since sold my last marine setup about a year ago, due to being a bit sick of the hobby to be honest, and getting annoyed at the demands that the marine aquarium hobby can bring (especially on the smaller sized setups).
I have since moved house and have alot more room at the new place, and got itchy feet for an aquarium setup again!
Being sick of marines, I thought I would go back to the (semi) basics of freshwater tropicals. And wanting to try something challenging, beautiful and relatively simple for those with experience to keep, I thought I would give discus a try.
The king of aquariums will soon reside with me, I am looking around at the moment for an appropriate tank, then I will set it all up and hopefully become a regular contributor to this fantastic website.
Hope to post up pics of my fresh setup once I pull my finger out! :lol:
