Turbo, the 4 yr old fancy goldfish. |
| About Yourself: |
Ever since i was very little i always loved looking at fishtanks i was always drawn to them, then when i was seven a friend of the famley gave us a 5 gal tank with a lone old angelfish, he died shortly after and my mom brought home a new fish, it was a jackdampsey no biger then 6 cm. we named her jacko, we didnt know how big she would get so she very soon outgrew the 5 gal tank so my dad built a 30 gal. for her she lived in that tank with us happily gobbleing up flys and worms and fishfood for 10 years at a length or approx. 8 in. she is what got my hooked on fish, i then had to get my own fish and thats when i got turbo, hes my 4 yr old ranchu goldfish i got him at wamart and he was labeld as a lions head, i was still at my parents at the time i got him and since then ive moved 6 times and he has came with me everwheres i go, hes the most cute lil fish ive ever seen and hes so chubby hes about 3-4 in. now, i moved turbo and a lone pleco into the house a ear ago and since then we have got so many new fish, i now have my boyfriend into the whole fish thing, so we adpted our two oscars and bought a new tank becase he loves african cichlids and the large vase we have has a betta in it he was one of the first fish we got together, since then the tanks keep getting bigger and we get more fish its a really fun thing to do as a couple watching them and feeding them and getting new aquarium gear, but yeah i will post a bunch of pics up on here of all my fishies. |
| Advice: |
give your fish just as much love an attention as you would anyther pet, learn as much as you can about water quality and the types of fish you want to keep to make sure your prepared. |

| About Yourself: |
I will be brutally honest, I never wanted fish. I am a Ball python breeder and a reptile man at heart. I would go into the pet store to get supplies and rodents and I would see how my kids were FASCINATED by the fish in the tanks. I would have never did a fish tank in my life if it wasnt for my 2 year old daughter looking into a fishtank and saying OOOOOOOOOO WWWWWWOW! I then decided to try something smaller like a 29 but then realizing my daughter can get behind it and tip it over, I went for the 55. Had I known my tank was gonna be this awesome (in MY eyes) I would have just bit the bullet and did a 125g. If this tank goes well I will convert the 55g to a saltwater and do an awesome 125 African cichlid display. |

Male Pseudotropheus Zebra "cobalt (aka Maylandia or Mettriaclima callainos) I wish the scientific community would come to a taxonomic concensus already! |
| About Yourself: |
I'm crazy in love with fish.
Google "Future-PhD" for my fish photography! |
| Advice: |
It's a good idea to research fish species before choosing fish, and join forums, read books, ask questions, and definatly learn about water chemistry before you set up. Give "fishless cycling" a try. |

Minimum of 2 HOB Emp 400's for each tank, no matter what size. All natural materials for decore, still experimenting with lighting (since this catagory is the costliest) but cheep-o fixtures with white fluorescent tubes are all I can afford. Rocks are still free -- thank god. |
