Basement Fishroom Bargains Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Hey everyone, been watching the Co-op on YouTube for a while, and ordered some stuff from them but with me just recently getting a house and therefore being able to expand to a full fishroom, I figured I should at least drop in and try to learn a few things here, and maybe get introduced to my next fish obsession. 🙂 So just a tiny bit of personal information, originally from Pennsylvania, transplant to the greater Cincinnati area. Wanted to be a marine biologist since I was six so I got the aquabug early. Got hooked on fish when my parents got me swordtails for my tenth birthday and they did what livebearers do and had babies. When I went to college my one ten gallon tank came down and, between moves, didn't come back until 2019. Since then I've really ramped up. Current roster of tanks 1x55 1x40 3x30 7x10 6x5 Not all of them have fish right now as I just moved and am ramping up. I like small fish, and particularly ones that are not as common. Highlights of the current fish roster Barbodes semiofasciolatus (yes they're common, but they're gorgeous) Apistogramma panduro A. mcmasteri Priapella sp. Poecilia picta Xenotoca doadroi Neolamprologus brevis 'sunspot' Barbus fasciolatus Current wish list Pseudomegil luminatus Black rams Anomalochromis thomasi Hemichromis exul Neolamprologus ocellatus 'Gold' Most Julidochromis sp Blue star endlers Chocolate sailfin mollies Wild Xiphophorus sp. Most Goodieds random other oddballs I might be able to breed. (Also, screen name is not in reference to me selling anything. I don't know if that's allowed here. The name references my fishroom being in my basement and the fact that literally none of my tanks are new, they all are bought used from fb marketplace or craigslist or the like along with most of my equipment.) 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of the reason I'm here is to find new favorites and connect with people who are as obsessed as I am. 🙂 Always open to new great ideas. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just started a journal thread with how it looks now. Didn't do pictures of all the tanks, but its a general overview. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
