    Default Hello from England!

    Hi there. My Name's Huzz, I'm from near London, England. (A place called Buckinghamshire). I've been reading the forum for a while now, and thought it was time to formally introduce myself!

    Im 17, currently doing my A Levels, but that's boring :P

    I started fishkeeping about two years ago, and last November, i decided to take the plunge and bought some discus! They were standard, cheapish alenquer reds, and they perished, unfortunately due to my lack of experience.

    A few tanks and some fish later, i have a planted Discus community with 3 Hi Body Red turq X Wild crosses, a Baby blue diamond and a pigeon blood discus, all doing very well.

    I look forward to sharing my experiences with you all, you seem like very friendly people!

    Ta,

    Huzz

    Thanks for the welcome Eddie, Barry and Chris! Like you Barry, i want to move to the states when I'm older, You guys seem to have much better discus than over here in all honesty.

    And Martha, I'm doing Chemistry, Biology, Maths, English Literature and Psychology. Although I've dropped maths for my second year now, it was a horrible subject!

    Chemistry and Biology, two great subjects for a fish keeper. I am also a fellow UKer living in America. Although I am from north of the border in the Uk, I wont hold it against you.

    I am sure you will find the information here invaluable.

    Haha yeah. My school's a bit of an Elitist institution, where they cram all this stuff into you!
    Four is a bit much, but hopefully I'll be able to handle it, fingers crossed!

    Hey Huzz, welcome to SD. I'm was born in Norwich, been here many years now but most of my family are still in England. I visit once in a while but I hate to fly. One sister finally came to the US and loves it but the others are still there. One sister runs a pub/hotel close to Norwich. Simply is a great site with a lot of helpful people good luck in your fish keeping.
    Cheers, Dave
    PS have a pint for me, it's been a while!

    I prefer a pint of Scrumpy (including the earwigs) If you can see through it, it is too posh for me
