Welcome Chris ! I love the sounds of your tank! I myself am just getting back into livebearers and am starting to intentionally breed them again. I look forward to seeing pictures of your tank and hearing from you more |

Hi, I'm currently "fishless" but used to have three huge freshwater aquariums, the largest over 100 gallons, plus smaller ones for specialty fish and quarantine. Someday I'll have fish again when I can afford a set up. In the meantime, I'll just live vicariously through all of you and enjoy seeing your photos, videos and posts! |

Hello,
My name is Laine, I am in Parksville on Vancouver Island. I have kept fish for about 20 years now, and as my user name indicates, I am into African cichlids, from Lake Tanganyika.
I have 15 tanks up and running (6-33 gallon,1-55 gallon,2-90 gallon, 1-60 gallon, divided in 4 sections, 1-150 gallon)
2 of the 33 gallons are planted with Endlers, Guppies, and Cories and Cherry shrimp. The remainder are all cichlids, from Lake Malawi and Lake Tanganyika, some South American.
I have a Facebook group page: "Central Vancouver Island Aquarium Club". we have members that get together and have meetings/ bbqs, etc.

Hey,
I'm Michelle from Pittsburgh, PA. I had fish when I was a little girl. I have just recently gotten back into them. I have technically 5 tanks up and running. 2 are my guppy fry tanks with around 30 fry in them. 1-20g, 1-10g, 1- 5.5g. We also have a 6g, 29g, and 75g. They are all currently awaiting being used. The 20g, and the 5.5g are all guppies and a few cory's. The 10g currently has my step-daughters glo danios in it. My partner and I love working on these tanks. We intend to have the 6g as a shrimp tank next year.

Hi everyone. My name is Vesta and I live in a small town in Pennsylvania. I have owned fish most of my life, many kinds of fish, so being tankless I guess would be unnatural for me.
I currently have 12 fancy goldfish (kind of my passion) in 2 tanks (75 and 45), a 42 gal hex with fancy guppies, platies, 1 gouromi, 1 cory and 1 dwarf sucker. And I have a 16 gal with an oscar, he's a baby but growin by the minute, so I will definitly be upgrading him very soon! I also have a gorgious betta in a 3 gal bowl.
Through the years, I've had many fish, cichlids being a favorite (150 gal) and my absolute favorite, my jack demsey, B**tard. He lived 10+ years.
As I said, goldfish are my passion though and I go to extremes for them and use natural remedies when problems arise. I may not be an expert, but I'm pretty proud of them. They are definitly my "kids".
I'm sure I will be showing off all of them really soon and I can't wait to see everyone elses!
