Hello! I am 24 years old. i graduated college with a degree in communications. I have been keeping fish for as long as i can remember and have been keeping specifically betta for 7 years. Right now i am trying my hand at seriously breeding them. my favorite kind of fish are betta and other labyrinth fish but i read up on ALL kinds of other fish and so have lots of fishy knowledge to share not only about freshwater but with saltwater as well.

right now as far as large set ups we have a 34 gallon display saltwater reef and a 55 gallon betta sorority tank. then i have 15 separate male betta. other pets include a red eared slider, a rosy boa, a sand boa, a rose haired tarantula, a mantis shrimp, and 3 dogs.

feel free to PM me with any questions you might have! i love to help out!

Hey guys, names Tiffany and I'm 20 years old. And hell I don't even remember being made crew. =3= surprise surprise. I use to keep a tank of comet fish ie carnie fish since I love them tinies so much. I have the most experience with them than any other fish, :/ *because their cheap and the only fish parents will tolerate* but I would like to start with some other fish in the future. I currently have one beta fish named Chronos, he is the most angry fish I have ever met in the entire world, flares at anything and everything and literally flares and swims like crazy in the morning, he knows he's going to get fed. Then lazes about when we try to play with him.

I'm slowly learning more about fish and hoping to get a job at the local aquarium or even pet shop this summer. In hope to learn about fish more.

I also have an undying obsession with marimo, which I'm hoping to get my hands on one sometime the next school year since there's an AWESOME pet shop near by my college that have a whole tank of aquarium plants and they have marimo! <3 Yeah!

biggrin Hello all!
I'm MJ, 21, and still in college.
My favorite fishies are platies, a kind of livebearer. I've been breeding them since I was ~9, and as many times as I've tried to move to other fish, I always end up with tons of platies again (I currently have 57, yikes!). I'm working on moving to a bigger aquarium.
I also worked in a pet store last summer, where I dealt on a regular basis with cats that wanted to swim in the fish tanks. xd

I have two friends (not on Gaia, sorry) who are as obsessed with fish as I am; we're constantly calling each other to give updates on our aquariums! blaugh

Hey everyone! Name's Aaron, or you can call me Degen. I'll respond to both. Heh. I'm 22 years old and an Advertising Design major in college. I've been keeping fish as pets since my junior year in high school. Yup, it's been 7 years for me already.

I'm currently on my 2nd 29 gallon tropical freshwater aquarium. The first one was retired a few years ago due to a leaking problem that couldn't be fixed.

The fish in my aquarium include 2 weather loaches, 2 neon tetras, 1 Siamese algae eater, black skirt tetras, serpae tetras, and green glo lite danios.

The green glo lite danios are not a result of the horrible practice of fish painting. They have been genetically raised like that since birth.

Because of college, I am rarely home now a days, and my parents have taken up basic care of the fish. I try to come home at least once a month to check things out. Good thing winter break is about to start!

I'll be rarely posting around here since things in my life are just too busy at the moment. I'll be reading though. Other than that, nice meeting you all!

Jea is the name of one of my friends! Heh.

Let's see... I've had them for almost a year at this point. They're a fine addition to any aquarium. Their skin looks yellowish, but the glow they give off from the light is greenish--I guess that would be the best way to describe their color.

Yes, but it's too much weight for me to handle during move in/out days. That, and because I'm in an art/creative/design major, my workload can be... quite a bit sometimes.
