  • hello world

    someone once told me that computers and water dont mix, but i am going to give it a try! so i guess here is where i talk about my tanks, i just downsized to 9 from 5, had a 75g spring a leak so everybody got moved around.

    6g eclipse-
    2 bumblebee catfish and a school of black phantom tetras, planted
    10g- baby fire eel, only about 6 inches right now, trying to get bigger but hes a picky eater. sand, pvc, java fern
    29g- spongebob tank! 3 bolivian rams, furcata rainbows, celebese rainbows, 1 gold gourami, planted
    75g- senegal bichir, 1 tiger & 1 red oscar (still small, yes i know they will need a bigger tank), convicts, 1 baby jaguar, 1 w/c texas female, big male blood parrot i rescued from petco, and a featherfin syno ive had for 7 years! bare bottom with anubias tied to driftwood and floating lillies.
    125g- my aquascaping masterpiece, angels, 9 corys (labeled as julii at lfs but im uncertain what species they really are), 1 brochis splendens (hes the leader of the corys!), rainbow shark, 1 blind discus (thank you john!), bamboo shrimp, ghost shrimp, and congo tetras. fully planted, driftwood
    bettas!- i also have about a dozen betta splendens living in old liquor bottles (big ones), i put moss algae, stargrass, or hornwort in with them and they do really well...
    foods- i also culture my own daphnia and gammarus, so easy and fun!

    since i work at a big pet store people constantly bring in unwanted/too big fish and i always bring the strays home. i really enjoy helping people new to the hobby get started with their first tanks, saving them the heartache of having to learn by trial and error like i did. i also have 2 cats, a 18 month old rottweiler, a monster 5ft female ball python (theyre not supposed to get that big!), and a 6 year old human boy! my garage is full of empty tanks that i will probably set back up at some point, and im always looking for the next challenge. so i guess my goal here on hfb is to help as much as i can, and hopefully learn a thing or ten. thanks for reading, its great to finally be here!
    my fish house:
    2.5g- ramshorn hatchery
    6g eclipse- yellow shrimp, chili rasboras, yellow apple snails
    29g- geo grow-out, angels, 12"fire eel, dwarf frog, apple snails
    45g- jade sleeper gobies, native killifish, feeder endlers

    75g-
    2 oscars, parrot, silver dollars, albino channel cat, syno euptera, bichir, baby jaguar, convicts, yabby
    125g- fahaka puffer, rainbow shark
    and about a dozen bettas....

          Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
          Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.

              Indeed!!! Glad you are here and terrific to have you onboard. I'm always amazed by hos much seeing others builds and ideas that spark my imagination.... (definitely like to see those bumblebee cats, I have always found them to be great and underrated smaller pimelods)
