hello

[josse]

Hi

I'm Josse (it's pronounced Joss if you're wondering!) and I just joined the forum today. I live in Nottinghamshire in England and have done for 11 years. Before this I grew up in West Cork - specifically the Skibbereen/Schull area although we also lived in Kilbrittain near Bandon for a while.

For the last three years or so my family and I have been considering moving back to the area. There are many potential barriers and it may neve happen, but were it to it would probably be in 1-2 years.

I thought it would be good to start making links with the aquarist community in Ireland at this point so I hope that I'm welcome on here despite my location!

My particular interest is South American fish, especially cichlids and l numbers. My current stocklist is as follows:

9 x Altum angelfish @ full grown
2 x wild green discus @ full grown
4 x baby Satanoperca Daemon @ 1.5"ish
4 x rams
1 x hemiancistrus subviridis (l200) @ 5"ish
1 x panaque nigrolineatus(watermelon plec/l330) @ 5"ish
1 panaque schaeferi (papa panaque/l203) @7"ish
1 x leporacanthicus cf. galaxias (vampire plec/l240) @5"ish
4 x hypancistrus sp. (mega clown plac/l340)
3 x microgeophagus altispinosa (bolivian ram)
c. 20 black neons
c. 10 hyphessobrycon bentosi (bentos tetra)
c. 30 nematobrychon lacortei (relative of emperor tetra, called green/rainbow emperor
5 x corydoras sterbai
1 lonely corydoras adolfoi

I think that's it. i'll see what pictures i've got and upload any decent ones
