- PUNX911@aol.com
- I have been breeding
platies, sword, and mollies for a few years now.
I have also bred danios and a few different types
of tetras, goldfish, and angels. I have
various tropical tanks throughout my home
including a river tank system that includes
nuets, frogs, and fish. I also have an outdoor
pond where I raise goldfish and koi.I would be
happy to help anyone with any freshwater fish
related questions, particualerly about
livebearers.

- My experience is
about 4 years in serious fish keeping although I
have always had fish since i was a kid.. I'm 25
by the way, and been a professional animal nurse
(for mostly cats and dogs) since 3 years. I could
not afford to get serious in the hobby before
that because i did not have enough cash to do
it!! although i'm an animal nurse, I did not
study fish. fish are my hobby!! actually, I don't
have much time for hobbies, so I have 2 basic
ones.. fish and the internet!! I have a 20 gallon
tank which I use mainly for quarantine and
experimentations.. I mostly experiment on trying
to get some plants to thrive now.. and since i
got serious on plant keeping, I'm quite ok with
it! i don't know much about plants.. I know the
basics only.. my main interest is fish!
My main tank is a 77 gallon. I have mostly
catfish. I say mostly because I have 2 mettynis
and a few pearl danios too. all the rest are all
different catfishes.. I have a few upside down
catfish, a yellow channel, 4 pictus, 3 corys, a
farlowella, and 2 collector's pieces.. a royal
pleco and a most dearly enjoyed ZEBRA PLECO!! I
know quite a bit on catfish, about their
behaviour and environmental preferences, but not
all the breeds because the fish i have i keep for
a long time!!! that should give you a clue on how
i keep my fish!! i know some people that say they
know alot (if not everything) about fish but
can't keep them for more than a year!!
The main questions I answer to are about ammonia
problems, catfish, and first timers aquarists.

- Karl Hockman
- I have a 125gal Reef
aquarium with about 110lbs of live rock.
Several species of coral. I have been in
the aquarium hobby since i was a child and in the
reef hobby for just over a year. my
specialty is DIY but can answer a wide range of
questions. If i am unable to answer a
particular question I can find out where it can
be answered.

- Celeste@unforgettable.com
- I have grown up with
huge aquarium set ups all over the house.
As for myself, I'd just started individually few
years ago. Right now I have three 80 gallon
tanks filled with gold fishes, arowanas, koi,
loaches...the usuals. Since I have became
interested in this hobbie, I have read &
research extensively about different types of
aquarium set ups and different
requirements. I have just constructed my
first 'wet/dry' filter for one of my tanks.
I am by far from any expert or the highly
experienced but if anyone have questions
regarding aquarium set ups, getting started on
new tanks, or new to the hobbie, I might be able
to contribute.

I
have several freshwater tanks in my home at the
current time. I mainly raise various types
of Tetras, including: Black
Phantom,Bloodfin, Diamond, Neon, Glo Light, Black
Skirt, Long Fin Black Skirt, and Cardinal
Tetras. I also have a tank containing
several types of Gouramis. I would be glad to
share all breeding information that I have
acquired with those who ask.

- I would love to help
other hobbyists out. I am a marine keeper, have
experience with MANY varieties of fish, some
inverts, mostly crabs shrimp and anemones. I

undergravel, 10 lbs. of liverock. Living in it
are : a purple tipped anemone, a sebae clown, a
yellow wrasse, a cleaner wrasse, a longnose
hawkfish, a hermit crab, and an arrow crab. In
the past I have kept a blue angel, royal grammas,
a bicolor basslet, a purple basslet, a powder
blue tang, most damsels, blennies, carrabean
gobies, and a fire goby. I have had experience in
parasites, water conditions, and various

Malta.I have been in this hobby for 7 yrs. My
favourites are tropical fish (
tetras..anabantids...and chiclids). I also have a
marine tank (just a lionfish at the moment). If
you have a problem ...I think that I can help
you...

- Shane
I
have been working with various catfishes for
seven years and have had articles published in
both the US and Europe. I am a member of the
North America Catfish Society and write a column
for their magazine, "The Catfishes of
Asia". Asian catfish are my specialty, but I
also keep South American Catfishes (esp.
loricariids) and the odd African catfish. I am in
touch with a lot of catfish hobbyists and
scientists and if I can not answer a question,
there is a good chance that I can contact an
expert and get an accurate knowledgeable
response. Check out the Catfish
articles under our articles section.
Shane may already have an answer for you.
- Riskie Goh
I'm
currently a third year u-grad in School of
Biological Sciences, NUS majoring in Zoology.
Currently I've a total of 5 fish tanks at home.
The fish include: discus adults, discus juvenile,
cardinal tetras, goldfish and guppy. The fishes I
have managed to breed include the discus,
goldfish and last but not least, guppy. But I've
not been able to breed the cardinals till now.
The numerous tanks and filter systems that I'm
currently have been designed and made by myself.
So probably I can contribute in this area also.
- Mary Sigman
I
live in Birmingham, AL. My grandmother actively
breeds platies and has done so since I was born.
I have raised fish for 35 years. Currently I am
looking for a location to expand to because the
business is too big for my home. I have a large
outdoor water area which consists of an upper
pond, a 15 foot waterfall and a lower pong and
bog. Indoors, I have a little over a thousand
gallons of tank space in use not including
Rubbermaid tubs which now house some of the fish
because I've run out of room. I am actively
breeding Discus, Angels, Brachardis, Laerotrophus
Africans, Sailfin Mollies (fresh and saltwater),
Black Mollies, Fancy Guppies and Bettas. In
saltwater, I have three fish only tanks and five
reef tanks. The largest reef is 225 gallons. I
have hard and soft corals and I am experimenting
with different lighting and animals to come up
with a good combination for the average
freshwater fish keeper. I want to make mini reef
keeping as affordable and popular as freshwater
fish keeping.

- Mike (riverrat@fgi.net)
- I've kept Cichlids,
Discus, your basic "beginner" variety
(i.e. barbs, tetras, and such), and kept a Reef
tank. I'n no scientific expert by any means, but
I particularly like helping people get started
along with answering other
"non-scientific" questions.
