Hullo! I’m Adrien, from Massachusetts. My amazing girlfriend got me a thirty-gallon tank for Christmas, something I’ve been wanting since at least before September (my birthday). I’ve always had aquariums in my life (my father kept a large saltwater tank in my youth, and we recently installed a pond in our yard for koi), though I only recently began seriously keeping fish by myself. I’ve kept many bettas over the years, but only a couple years ago learned better than to believe the horribly-promoted Peace Lily vase setup. For my birthday last year, I got a white, red-spotted betta and housed him in a live-planted, five gallon MarineLand hex tank. He passed away the semester before last unfortunately, from a curious disease we couldn’t halt (among other things, he refused to eat, and his spine started bending). Soon after, our second betta together passed from dropsy. I was very saddened, and somewhat disheartened, but it’s been long enough for me to try again, and this time with more knowledge.
I’ve done a lot of reading on axies, but there are many differing opinions (especially when much comes from scientific keeping). I’ve always thought they were awesome animals, and am hoping that I can provide the proper setup. I will post shortly in the appropriate forum to start asking questions.
Oh, and also, I currently have three guppies that my girl’s keeping (two cobras, one tequila sunrise, all male) in my old five gallon. We found an amazing aquarium store, Tropical Isle in Framingham, though they don’t carry axies, but we intend to get most of our supplies there. We’re considering breeding the guppies and possibly housing some with the axie over time, either way we’ll be putting them in the thirty-gallon tank first (before any other animals) to get a good biological balance going.
p.s., my girl is baroque on the forum.
Nice to meet you, and I apologise in advance, because I bet most of my posts will be way too long like this. Hi!
