Welcome to my website

My name is Roy Clark & I live in North Aberdeenshire,Scotland. I have been keeping & breeding fish for over 25 years.When I was in my late teens my friend was introduced to tropical fish keeping by my friend Robert Taylor when we lived in Elgin..This was when my interest in tropical fishkeeping began.I started with a few livebearers & then moved on to egglayers.Like a lot of other aquarists Zebra Danio was the the first egglayer that I bred. I kept fish for a few years before  & after getting married.I then had quite a few tanks on the go.I gave up about a year later due to work related changes & moving home several times. Male Albino Kribensis I moved into my present house in 1979 & started to keep fish a while after.I started off with one tank but after joining Banff & District Aquarist Society I got the breeding bug again. I put another couple of tanks in a spare bedroom & bred various fish in these.I got an 8' x 10' shed a couple of years ago & gradually added more tanks.I now have 29 tanks of various sizes,most of these have been free or very reasonably priced. I started attending fish auctions on a regular basis just after I got the fish house up & running.I have made friends with quite a few like minded aquarists at the shows regret leaving it so long before attending.This is where I manage to get fish that are not available in shops in my neck of the woods,as they mostly sell "Bread & Butter"fish.Unfortunately the closest venue is Perth so every auction is at least a 230 mile round trip.It is a good day out & recommend it to all keen aquarists.Due to a change in my employment situation 28/08/11 I can no longer attend the fish shows as my work rota coincides with every fish show auction. Fish that I am currently breeding are:- Corydoras sterbai--Corydoras similis-Corydoras schultzei--C.pygmaeus Corydoras gossei-Corydoras nijsseni-C.weitzmani-CW010 Half Black Panda Guppy Japan Electric Blue Lyretail Guppy German Round Tailed Guppy Blue Platinum Panda Guppy Neon Pastel Endlers Gold Endlers Phallicthys quadripunctatus Heterandria formosa Danio erythromicron Xiphophorus variatus  Male Megalechis Picta(Hoplosternum Thoracatum) This breeding pair of Red Melon Discus belong to young Danny Collins from Banff who is a very keen fishkeeper.The photo was taken by his father.   Updated 29/01/12 Copyright Scotia-Aquatics 2012       This flag counter was added 7/02/11
