New Starter Guide

[Carraig]

Hi Guys,

This week I was at a Training course down south working on our companies new training manual. Bit of an odd link but as some of you know I've just finished cobbling together a BGK species tank. ;D

We all know how hard it can be to track down reliable info on how to choose fish for a community, compatibility with you BGK, how many ghosts can share a tank space, food types, water parameters, the list goes on. Quite a lot too.

I'm wondering if anyone would be interestyed in putting together a starters guide for BGK's. The idea I had in my head was to approach each issue for, example water quality, and run a poll to see what each of us have experienced. If we have it as a very meassurable result "What is your ideal pH reading?" then we can put in a bar graph so people can see what most of us have success with.

We could also do a compatibilty chart, all kinds of stuff. I think we have agood resource of knowledge about these fish. bryce came up with the breeding report, the best I've been able to find, and we all know our own fish. I reckon we could plug this together into a handy tool.

Let me know what you guys think.

That's a great idea

Are you going to create a poll or want people to post in here??

I figure if we start a new thread where people can post they're questions. Maybe if we can check with the mods then we can set out a set place for the survey and its results. First off we need to know who else is interested.

Carraig,
Great idea. Maybe it should be given it's own area or post. Possibly called "The Basics of BGK Keeping" or "Experiences of BGK Keeping". Thereby getting a wide range of experiences with water peramters, food, tank mates etc. would be a great idea. I'd be more than willing to add to such an area/post.
Cheers,
Bryce.

I'd love to help out, but not sure how much I can contribute, as I've only been a proud owner of a BGK ;D less than 2 weeks, so don't really have much data, except for observations during that time.

Cheers,
