Welcome to HoustonFishBox.com! (Launched 15Feb06)

Welcome! We're a new freshwater fish website based in Houston Texas. I wanted to build a site where we could really build a community and talk about the husbandry of freshwater fish in the Houston and Southeast Texas area. With the help of our members I believe we've done a pretty good job of pulling together info from african cichlids, to koi, to livebearers, bettas, plants, and tropical fish aquaria in general. So, come on in and JOIN US. It's FREE! Come and view the FORUMS and contribute to or learn from an area of your choosing or just have some fun with folks that like fish as well. The Houston aquarium / fishkeeping hobby needs you! Afterall, It's Fish, it's Aquariums, it's Freshwater, it's Houston. What's not to like?


The next 1 Events.
