Hi all from Minnesota!


Recommended Posts

Hi all! I’m so very glad to be here and to have finally joined into the group. I’ve been keeping fish since I was little but with my husband in the military it was just to much to move fish and tanks and such. Now that he’s out I’m back in! These are the 3 tanks I currently have up and running next one I’m working on cycling/seasoning is a 45 gallon. So the 29 tall has the guppies and a bristlenose pleco and is my current breeding project. My husband suggested I do bettas next I laughed like it was funny till I realized he was serious…yeah…I don’t know about that. The 15 gallon with the triplets is the chiclid tank and then there’s my pretty boy betta who currently has a red fin shark roommate who will be moving out to the 45 once it’s ready and is being kept close watch over for any funny business. Though they seem to be getting along fairly well. Though I’m disabled I still work full time and spend an hour working with the fish (even if it means gravel vacuuming and water changing while on my lunch break) and then another working my Service Dog every day. I’ve only gotten back into the hobby in the last 4 months and I’m so glad that I did I’ve included pictures of what I have going on so far.

Welcome!  There seems to be a bit of a budding MN contingent on here.  I'm in MN as are a few others around here. 

I love those rocks in the cichlid tank.  What are they?  Did you get them locally? 

No actually, I’m not sure where the originally came from they are a hand me down from my fathers cichlid tank when he was breeding them and he got them from a friend who was getting out of the hobby. All military guys so who knows where in the world they came from. But if anyone does know I’d love to find out!

Welcome! The dog robot behind the betta made me smile! Is that what it is?

Yeah kind of though my husband says it looks like one of the cats from the Voltron cartoon that was forgotten at the bottom of the ocean. I always laugh when my betta swims into the mouth and lays there.

That's even better - heirloom rocks!  And whatever they are, they are very, very nice rocks too.
