Hi everybody!

I'm Kate, but I prefer to go by Kagome (said ca-go-may for those who may not be Inu Yasha fans). I'm a 30 year old stay at home mom and I love my fishies!!!

I currently have two tanks. One is my ten gallon which contains only a Blue Gourami a small clown loach and a common pleco. Everyone seems contented with that setup so I'm leaving it alone for now.

I am currently setting up and cycling my new 38 gallon that my wonderful husband bought me for our tenth anniversary. I plan to have German Blue and Gold Rams and Angels in that tank. I actually have some questions with regards to setting this tank up, but they will have to wait for later because I just heard my son through the baby monitor which means he is up from his nap. Hopefully I will be able to post some questions tonight.

So, for now, hi everybody!! I'm so excited to join the group!

Warmest regards,
Kagome

Bravery is not the ability to face dangerous or difficult situations without fear; for that is mere foolishness and therefore no great accomplishment. Bravery is the ability to feel fear and yet carry out the right and necessary thing that one is called upon to do.

Great to see you joined with is Kagome. It's always a pleasure to hear from new people. It's always a good thing to have wonderous variety and experiences. I have a feeling you'll fit in really well with the group and feel free to ask away or comment.

If you need assistance in African cichlids, that I can help you with. All you need to do is ask.

180 gallon main tank
100 gallon grow out tank
75 gallon Mbuna tank
20 gallon isolation tank (Inactive currently)
15 gallon isolation/hospital tank

Current stock too long to list in signature. I am in the process of building up a Victorian community and reworking the tank enviroment.

welcome Kagome! always good to have someone new on board - I have just started keeping rams - have had 3 German blues for a few weeks now and they are doing great - beautiful little creatures and so far, so good - have read and heard different opinions about the ease of their upkeep so I was a little nervous at first - someone should chime in re: compatability w/ goldens and angels - my blues are very non-aggressive - anyway, welcome aboard! you'll find it very friendly and informative here!
