Hi all

Sorry for my bad English

Welcome to FP idmartinezc!

I hope this site helps you to have a Happy New Year!

There is a lot you can learn on here! Do you have a tank & fish yet? There is an excellent "profiles" section for looking up fish. You can also go to "search" & type in things to bring up posts about whatever you want to know about. I highly recommend you go to FAQ at the top of the page if you are just a beginner in this hobby. And of course, if you run into any problems, you can always post in the appropriate forum. Or if you just want to talk, you can post here in the Recovery Room anytime.

Welcome

Hey, welcome to Fish Profiles. I hope you learn tons too.

Welcome!

I'll do graffiti,
If you sing to me in French.

Hello there!

Unless Adam can run through the files and find someone else that arrived before you, you appear to be our very first Argentine member ... which means you might live not too far from where some of our favourite fishes live!

I know for a fact that Bloodfins are Argentine native fishes, and of course there's the Buenos Aires Tetra ... then there's Australoheros facetos, the Chanchito, which has the distinction of being the first Cichlid domesticated in the hobby, way back in 1884.

So, some of the people here might be asking YOU about these fishes!

Pull up a chair, help yourself to some chocolate cake, and discover that we're a friendly if sometimes loony bunch of fishkeepers.

If you DO live within easy reach of a river or stream that is home to some interesting fishes, you could take photos and show us all first hand what the native habitat looks like ... earning yourself lots of brownie points into the bargain.

Some of us here will probably envy you being able to go out and catch yourself some nice fishes for free.

Oh, if someone can translate the above into Spanish and send a PM to our new member ... he might appreciate this. Unfortunately I took German at school, not Spanish ...

welcome!

I see you already met Calilasseia.. By far, our most longwinded poster on the site!

Just remember, no question is too dumb. If asked before - you might be linked to a different page which already contains the answer. My only advice to you, as a new member... don't be afraid to ask questions! It's better to make sure of something than to mess it up. But try not to ask the same question 30 times. haha

Now explore, have fun, and meet the FP family!

"it's the neck, it creaks under the weight of too much heavy thinking."

Hey Cali.- When you said translate.......... a little bell went off & I remembered I had a translation thing built into my comp., so I told it to translate what you just said into Spanish. This is what it came up with. Maybe someone who takes Spanish can tell us how well my comp. did?

Removed by Adam. Please note this site has an English language only policy.

One of, if not the best place to get advice. I've learned alot in the year I've been here, and developed mad fish skillz.

Just watch out for Multi Tank Syndrome (MTS), it is very addicting

Fish tanks are an expensive addiction

Just one problem Fish Patty ... until Adam sorts out the bug that's responsible, the site doesn't render foreign language characters properly, or for that matter a whole host of other characters. It doesn't render the English pound symbol properly, nor the degree symbol for temperature, in fact ANY character outside the range of ASCII character codes from 32 to 126 is rendered incorrectly. So all those letter 'c's with cedillas on and accented vowels will turn out mangled. I know because for a while I persisted in trying to spell words like "regime" with the correct accented vowel, until the mangled result made me give up.

I'd hazard a guess that virtually all of the special characters needed to make your translation a sensible one to a native Spanish speaker have been scrambled.

Well, that's interesting Cali.. I didn't know that different sites might affect a language situation. But that's ok............ I was just playing around. Idmartinezc obviously speaks enough English to get by on this site anyway.

Besides that, I think Adam would prefer we all speak English, so we all know what is being said.

Trouble is though, the bug affects our ability to use the degree symbol in temperature and hardness notation too ... sigh.

Anyway, what I'm now waiting for is some photos of the native habitat of Aphyocharax anisitsi and a few other things ...

Thanks to all!!!!!!

The fish that I support and reproduce is killisfish , I´m in the asocioacion KCA of Argentina two years ago, someone of you reproduce killis?.

I live far from Buenos Aires and do not possess " The Chanchita " but I know an excellent link of Buenos Aires that has the correct information of his(her,your) maintenance.

Hi,
Welcome to FP!! We all look forward to visiting with
you over time.

This site is an ENGLISH language ONLY site. Any other
languages will be deleted (as you noticed in Adam's
post). Only Latin fish names are exempt.

Hello idmartinezc! Welcome to FP.

Nice to see a fellow Latin American join the ranks. You will see that this site is a great source of information.

If or whenever you need any help with terms or translation, send me a Private Message and we can establish a way to exchange information without disrupting the English only policy. Will be glad to help as much as I have been helped here.

All the best,

James
