Well, she lives two states away, but we're in a small state area and I'm close to the border of my state, so we're about 2.5 hours apart despite that. I only know of one other person in passing that has a fish obsession, but she works for the National Wildlife Fisheries as an agent. Her tanks are crazy and all over the house. Hahah...my friend converted her dining room into a fish room and it's a crazy set up, I always enjoy looking at it when I go visit her. She's been very patient with all my questions and helping me out, plus all the info on here. The co-op blog and their YouTube channel are extremely informative. I'm a dog enthusiast and rescue volunteer, and I feel like I almost know more about the technicalities of fish now than that of dogs!
