Guys.... like I mentioned before... this is not targetted at anyone specific. Everyone has the right to ask before parting with their money. I put the FAQ's here for a reason...... to answer you guys before the questions become a little too repetetive for me to answer them.

A tad bit of advice to all beginners..... read read and read..... there's abundance info on the net.. and mags will help a lot. When I started with Central Americans right smack in the middle of the Luo Han era, there was nothing whatsoever that is available locally.... I learnt a whole lot from the NET and importing and experimenting myself. Now that I see a whole lot of aquarists have matured over the years... its really good to know. So we all learn... but it would really be good if u do a search first before asking the same questions over and over. And please please please go learn the basics of "cycling a tank" first before starting.

I'd like to quote Dom as a real example....... (Dom, this is not in anyway degrading you).... Dom was a real novice before, he used to ask the funniest questions, we laughed at him... but he continued learning.. He experimented a lot with lotsa species... and decided that he was really keen on plants and biotopes and aquascaping.... and he has matured tremendously over the years.. I even ask him questions about plants nowadays... Guys and gals...... its really the effort..... spoonfeeding won't get u too far.
