Hiya Guppysnail! We will for sure be there again this year. It will be my third year attending and I've seen the event get better and better each year. It's not massive like the aquashellas are, but IMHO it is a better type of event. Last year saw about 65 people from the Youtube Fishfam community attend, this year we are looking at roughly 100 of us. If you'd like to meet a ton of small channels from youtube and get some know some amazing people, this is the event for you. The fishshow is one of the largest in North America, they have a ton of great speakers lined up, and more vendors than ever before too. I always come home incredibly motivated from the event and usually with a few more friendships too. The people are incredibly inclusive and welcoming and honestly it is one of the highlights of my year! {EDIT} I should clarify... There are hundreds of people that go to this event. The 100 people I mentioned are just people specifically from our community, There are tons more that go that don't even know we exist. 🙂

Lol! We could be brothers! I hope Cory has his Halloween costume for this year now.

Hey, I know this guy!

You are very welcome and it was nice meeting you! I had 70 keychains to hand out, I have 4 left!!

Thanks, I'll take a look!

Hundreds. I love supporting the fishfam on youtube and I'm constantly calling out good channels and doing interviews with creators too. I was even lucky enough to interview Cory, Zenzo, and Dean at different times. I think both Dean and Cory's stream were more than 2.5 hours. 🙂 I have 67 interviews done and only about a thousand left to go!

Yeah I don't post here much. Nothing against the site or Cory, I'm a huge fan. I just don't do forums much these days, but my account is a good year and a half old.

Nice! Please make sure to stop in and say Hi. Fishfam will have a booth in the vendor room and we sponsored the hospitality suite and most of the fish classes from the show too

I collect quite often too, since I live on a shore line and can legally take anything that comes up on the high water mark. I have dipped pretty much everything in hydrogen peroxide and everything has come through fine except for the elodia, which lost all it's leaves.

https://keystoneclash.com They have some good speakers lined up this year and their fish show is one of the largest in north america, with hundreds of fish entered into the contest. It's a club event instead of a trade show, but there are still lots of vendors and lots of fish swapping happening. The Fishfam will be well represented this year too with somewhere between 50-70 of us coming.

I live in upstate NY, right on the lake Ontario shoreline and did my first pond this past year. My set up is a lot like yours, but much smaller. I have a pre-formed 50 gallon bottom tub, a nine gallon bog filter, then a one gallon weir at the top. I turned off the pump for the winter and used a tetra pond de-icer to keep the water from freezing. It is only rated at 40 degrees F though, so the water was still pretty cold... I stocked it with golden white clouds minnows. I wasn't sure how well they'd do, but they just didn't survive, they thrived. There are far more this spring then when I shut it down late last fall. Here is what it looked like after the winter. Disregard the dumb thumbnail, it's what I do. And here is after a little bit of work getting it cleaned up. You can actually see a few of the goldens toward the end.

Hey hey peeps! A lot has changes since my last update. I have 11 tanks now, but two of them are little 5 gallons. I also put in a small 60 gallon pond and put out a couple of tubs this year. I still have guppies, but I have so many other things now including a bunch of Psuedomugils and pea puffers. Really diggin' into the hobby!

LOL wow, they DO like like twins! Is he crazy long too? Like when we are cooking, our cat will stretch up and put his paws on the counter-top.

Thanks! I just realized I had made quite a few changes since my last update here. Instead of doing a huge post, here is a quick fishroom tour. You'll see a lot of Co-op plants and equipment 🙂

Well it's been a few months since I updated. Nothing new to really report with the 55. Everybody is still doing good in that tank. I have a total of 9 tanks now as I've added a couple of small 5 gallon tanks and a 75 gallon tank too. The 75 is still being setup, and I haven't totally decided on what is going to go in the tank yet, but I am leaning heavily toward some roseline/dennison barbs. The gold ones if I can find them when I'm ready to buy, but if not, just the standard ones.
