Here are some random factoids: I've visited over a dozen foreign countries, I can juggle four things I was a punk rocker with a 15 inch high 'Any colored' mohawk in the eighties. I worked hard and now I do what I want. :-D I told you they were random. I strive to be the person my dog thinks I am.

55G Growing out a half-black blushing angel and some BN plecs. It has some live bearers [Molly/guppys] also that I am simply to lazy to attempt to catch.. I just keep feeding them to my O.

typeof:

Freshwater

Rest of Your Aquariums:

#4. 20long With an Appisto 14 H. Rasbora & some corys. #5. 20G with a pair of Dwarf spotted Puffers. #6. 29G QT/ER #7. 29G with a baby Oscar [I have a 55 or 75 he will go to late summer] Right now I am hoping he munches live bearer fry like crazy :-P. Empty = I have three empty tanks . . . Or maybe I have none :-P. You see... I was smart enough to edit this before the contest started.

How I got started with aquariums.:

A band-mate of mine had over a dozen tanks -SW - Cichlids - Piranha etc. A few years ago he gave me a 29G he wasn't using and I bought the 40G the next month... MTS has been RAGING ever since and I never looked back lol. I bought my house in 2009 and have been doing other stuff besides squaring away the tanks - I honestly prob have at least a year to go before I can get everything properly in situ.

Favorite fish:

Sushi ;-) I'd LOVE a reef! I also dig shoals od micros, Appistos & Angels are cool too.

Fish I have bred:

Mollies, guppies, Angels spawn frequently but no wrigglers. Convicts years ago.

Why I like fish::

Primarily, I like lemon and tarter sauce but I admit I do find the little slice of their environment i have a window into is equal parts fascinating and relaxing.

Best advice:

RESEARCH! Do I FREAKING really have to tell you to google that... REALLY!?! Put a little effort into trying to learn something... Give it a shot, It works. Also IF you insist on making retarded assertions I will call you out on it, So Nut-up-Buttercup!

Other pets:

Tyler Durden - He is a Black Lab/Rot mix rescue who is an unrepentant eighty pound love machine.
