GreenspotAquatics Posted November 27, 2020 Share Posted November 27, 2020 (edited) Hello everyone, My name is Cruz and I am from the Metro-Detroit area. I am new to the coop forum and wanted to introduce myself and show off my fish room currently! A little bit about myself, I am currently a junior in college pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering some of my hobbies include the obvious fish keeping, sailing, flying rc planes, and working on my cars! I got into fish keeping a little over four years ago and as it happens to most of us is started with one tank and and is now up to 30+ throughout my house. My focus has mainly been breeding livebearers (guppies, swordtails, and limia) as well as shrimp (various different colors of Caridina and Neocaridina) but I have many other types of fish. I would just like to thank the Fishtube youtubers for some of the inspiration in my tanks and fish room and for what they do to promote the hobby itself including; Cory from Aquarium Co-op, Rob from Flip Aquatics, and Bob from Steenfott Aquatics. In addition to Fishtube there are many individuals from the Motor City Aquarium Society that have helped me. I look forward to enjoying the help I receive from others and the advice I can give to others on this forum!

Ruud Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 What a great fish room! I love these types of setups in basements, hope to have something similar one day.

I raced a J/24 regatta at BYC in Detroit. We towed a boat to and from from Vermont, and everyone was so friendly, letting us cut the line for the hoist, for the long drive home. I have also gotten some excellent shrimp from a Detroit breeder. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you remember which Detroit shrimp breeder was it? Do you remember? Also, what kind? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwise Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 We can't really discuss other vendors besides Aquabid and Aqua Huna, as I understand it, so I will just say that you have probably already heard of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
