Hi Everybody!

Thank you, Cory, for creating this forum—I am so happy I discovered it today, and I can’t wait to meet the rest of you guys and see what you are up to!

I’ve been an educator since 1995, a special educator focusing on autism and related disorders since 2009, a mom and special needs mom since 1997 (5 kids, 4 grown), a grandma and special needs grandma (3 grandkids) since 2017, and an author, dog-lover, and fish-lover since…well, forever.  I have three dogs, all rescues: 

  • a 10 year old male Chessie (brown)
  • an 11 year old female lab/german shepherd/golden mix who has always looked like a chocolate lab puppy with funny half-cocked ears and a pointier nose
  • a 2 year old male corgi/beagle/basset mix who is constantly walking the line of perpetrating enough mischief to warrant a death sentence and making the most of his "Cute and Cuddly" (and fluffy) to get forgiven again. 

I have been keeping fish since 1997…mostly mbuna.  A year ago I started doing planted tanks and I am loving it (and learning a lot the hard way…)

I am currently running:

  • a 10G betta/emerald-eye rasbora/mystery/nerite tank 
  • a 55G parkinsoni rainbowfish/diamond tetra/ember tetra/emerald cory/spotted cory/mystery/nerite tank,
  • a 75G mbuna (kenyi, red zebra, OB zebra, maingano, electric yellow) and featherfin squeaker (synodontis eupterus catfish) tank,
  • and a 3-5000G koi and goldfish pond.
