G'day...

[Spud]

G'day from downunder ! http://bestsmileys.com/waving/3.gif I've been keeping fish for many years, mainly African Cichlids and the common bristlenose. I started off with a 3 foot tank and now I have 160 plus ponds. http://bestsmileys.com/peeping/5.gif The wife and myself run a small Aquaculture business and supply the LFS's here in West Australia. Looking forward to catching up with everyone on the forum. Great looking site by the way and is there going to be a board where you can talk about anything besides fish ? :D

Cheers Spud

Hey Spus, oops Spud (:p), a big huge welcome from the Jersey Shore.
Go down to "The Water Cooler" thread and talk away.

Whenever you get the chance I would love to see pics of your ponds!

[Spud]

Hahahaha, I'll never live that one down. (Spus) http://bestsmileys.com/lol/1.gifhttp://bestsmileys.com/lol/1.gifhttp://bestsmileys.com/lol/1.gif I'll have to check out your water cooler mate. Thanks for that and for the welcome. I'll put some pics up soon. :)

Welcome aboard Spud!

[Spud]

Thanks again guys for the warm welcome. Hey AlishanAs, damn, you saw them pics lol. Yeah, it was a Mad night and just so much fun. We've now got a Madness Swapmeet coming up this Sunday and should be awesome. We can sell anything we like but the Missus took her price tag off and gave me one of these. http://bestsmileys.com/hitting/2.gif We'll be taking some pics so I'll post some up for you all. :D Of course the Spud stall is going to be the biggest and the best ! :)
Thanks for the comments about my fish room. If I wanted to post them on here, which section do I go to ?
Catch yous later.
Cheers

G'day Sooty.

I've seen your fish on the madness.

You have some awesome plecos. I want the gold one and the red spotted species.

Hiya Sooty ! :D

[AlishanAS]

Spud - a post on Plecomadness mentions that you were in the hospital with a bad back. We hope that you are feeling better and that you are back on your feet.

BTW - I'll gladly take a first class flight to OZ to take care of your fish room if you are not up for it.. :grin:
Tell Andy to send the tickets. LOL

Get well!!!

[Spud]

Hi AlishanAs, this is Del, Spud's better half lol and thanks for the good wishes. He is going to take a while to be better and thanks for the offer to look after the fish room. I know that he'd love to have all you guys come on over for a visit. He was taken by ambulance to the hospital Christmas morning and he spent all day in a hospital bed in the emergency ward. There's a slight improvement today but he's most comfortable lying down. He is sure missing talking to you all and hopefully he'll be able to sit on this chair real soon.

Cheers for now,

Del

[fischfan13]

Del, please give Spud our well wishes and support...his presence is missed.

[Spud]

Thanks fischfan13, I'll pass your good wishes on to him.

Del xx

Hey Spud

I thought I did greet you, even though you were here before me. Glad to hear you are doing better little by little.

[Spud]

Hi All,

Today is the first day that I can walk a little better and sit down for longer periods. It's nice to be able to type this myself. http://bestsmileys.com/hyper/3.gif They've changed my medication as what I was taking is a controlled drug and they wouldn't let me have a repeat. The farkers, I was enjoying those. http://forums.eastcoastcichlids.org/image.php?u=40&dateline=1228876526 Thanks all for your kind wishes, you're true mates. Slow but sure from now on and I'm hoping to enjoy some of this soon. http://bestsmileys.com/oneofakind/6.gif that's if I haven't forgotten how. :shocked:

Cheers for now,
Spud

[AlishanAS]

Good to hear you are doing better Spud. If you forgot, maybe Starfire can give you some pointers!!:colrface:

[Spud]

Thanks mate. I love it best when Starfire uses the whip but I can't bend over at the moment. :wail:

No, all our tanks are individual. I usually siphon and Del follows filling up. Heaps of pit stops along the way though and it's like sip, sip, siphon, siphon.
