My fish keeping started a good many years ago with a Goldfish bowl and some minnows that I caught at the local creek. It was a short lived experience but was enough to get me hooked. A few years later I dug out the bowl again and bought a couple of Goldfish. You guessed it, another short lived tank. After that I went for a few years with no fish. A couple of years ago I found the Internet and the itch to keep fish again. I started with a 55 gallon tank and haven't looked back since.

On this present day I am running 7 tanks. That was the smallest I could downsize for the big move (I just moved into a new home). My 125 has a breeding pair of Tiger Oscars, one Jag, one Jack Dempsey, and a couple of huge Plecos in it. My 55 gallon has a pair of Albino Oscars, 2 Frontosa (lost some while moving), a Giant Danio (that won't go away) and a Pleco. The 30 gallon has my latest prize...A 10" Jag that will be going in the 125 after QT time is up. The rest are just filled with your typical Barbs, Loaches and stuff. There is one 10 gallon that has my Tiger Shovelnose Catfish in it. As soon as I get that tank to the new house the Catfish is going into the 55 for a couple of months so it can grow a little more before it goes in the tankbuster tank.

Right now there isn't much going on so most of my tanks are sitting empty. I have been breeding African Cichlids and some of your typical bread and butter fish. I am hoping to have my fish room done in the next couple of weeks so I can get back into the swing of things again.
