hi!!!
im emily, and im really glad that there are web sites like this to talk to and help ppl with the fish stuff, lol gives me insurance that im not the only fish finnatic out there. i finally picked up the fish hobby after i move to kansas again, last time we were in louisiana and before that else where. my dad is an non-commisioned officed in the u.s army, so to sum it up, i have move about 13 times in my 16 year-old life, unfortunatly that means no time to get attatched to some fish and then have to give them away. but now dear ol' dad is in the process of retiring, so i get to keep fish again. Picking this hobby up again has made me realize that i don't really want to be a vet, but i'd much rather specify my career with animals and become an ichtyologist. Owning fish is something that i really love and enjoy, but it gets all crazy when every time you go to wal mart you just absolutly have to buy this or that fish and your pals think your going insane, but nonetheless it is what i do.
i currently have 8 tanks set up
5 gal. -two snakeskin guppys, three molly juviniles (may their mom rest in peace)
10 gal- turqouise jewel cichlid, and a pictus cat
10gal- my favorite jack dempsy
10gal.-two angels, a pleco, three mollies, and a dragonfish goby
10gal.- green spotted pufferfish
20gal.- 2 juvenile green terrors, 2 turqouise severum, two dempseys, 2 convicts, and a pleco
29gal.- 5 goldfish, 1 parrotfish, and 8 koi
55gal.- 1 firehead, 1 firemouth, a pleco, an armored catfish, and a giant danio (who is literally in love woth the 7 inch firehead)
needless to say i have a great love of the fishes.
