I figure most of your know each other, however, it would be cool if we'd introduce ourselves and what we keep. I'll go first.

I'm Betty from Norman, Oklahoma. I have 14 tanks set up at the moment (MTS!) and a couple of small ponds. I run a couple of other aquarium-related websites.

I have multiple Walstad-Type Natural Planted Tanks (NPTs) set up. I love them because they're low maintenence. They are all sitting by south windows.

This is the my original 20 tall which got me into all this.. a garage sale find. It's now a NPT. It houses some guppies, green swordtails currently and three brown bn plecos I'm waiting on to breed. That's where the red wags will go when I track some down locally.

I converted my original 55 gallon tank into a NPT a while back. It still has the plant filter running.

It now has Watonia from Dallas in it (kinda like wakins but with longer finnage)

I'm Gordon from Forsyth Illinois. Presently I have 20 tanks set up but 2 are still empty. I have mostly livebearers, surprise. I have been in the hobby on and off since the mid 1950s. Even then my focus was livebearers although I did breed bettas once back then. I recently, 6 years ago, started to ramp up from a single community tank. My main focus has been on wild type fish and most recently on goodeids.

this sounds like the start of group therapy. Hi my name is Steven I live in Portage La Prairie Manitoba Canada. I curently have 12 tanks running with 2 more on the way I keep mostly livebearers. I am interested in wild type fish. I have been in the hobby for about 6 years now.

Dear FishFolk,

My name is Earl and I'm a fishaholic.

OK I'm Earl from Tulsa, OK and I go by earlblewett on the forum. I keep small fish, mainly killifish, halfbeaks and oddball livebearers.

My fishroom is now 9 tanks in an apartment while house construction is going on.

I'm Joel from Kansas City, Missouri. I never had fish until my forties when my sister-in-law bought a ten gallon tank for my sons. We went to a local pet store and got a goldfish and a couple of black mollies. My kids quickly lost interest, but I have been hooked ever since.

I currently have fewer than 70 tanks. I keep mostly Goodeids although I have a few Limia as well. I have a dream of someday participating in a livebearer species maintenance coop.

Hi my name is Alex Barnes I go by Alex on the forum. I currently have 7 tanks(I don't have a fish room). One is a 55 gallon saltwater and in it I have a tomato clown, snowflake eel, and a marine betta. In tank number 2 is a 100 gallon freshwater I have Gambusia affinis, Discus and Pelecos. Tank 3 is a ten gallon goldfish tank. Tank number 4 is a ten gallon fry tank. Tank number 5 is a ten gallon Xiphophorus (sorry if I spelled it wrong) tank it has 4 platys and five swordtails. Tank 6 is a 10 gallon Ameca splendens tank breeding tank. And tank 7 is a 30 gallon terrarium for my turtles.

Hello,
My name is Donald Brandt from Northern IN. I'm relativly new to livebearers and am in the process of converting our son's room (he joined the army and is in Kuwait) downstairs into a small fish room. I hope to have about 25 tanks set up: mostly 15's to 30 gal tanks. I want to raise the goodieds of which I have 6 diffreant species right now in 6 tanks scattered all over my small house.

Hey everyone Michael Miller here from Lexington Kentucky. I have been raising and breeding fish for about ten years now. I have tried everything from angelfish and guppies to snails and shrimp. I ended up settling down with fancy swordtails. I now breed albino blood red sailfin swordtails, albion and normal koi, albino and normal pineapple, albino and normal wild green, and will soon be receiving sanshoku and black berlin. I also breed bleeding heart and calico platys but will most likely be getting rid of all the platys to make room for more swordtails. I have been working on my new website, www.fancyswordtails.com , but have not had much time to finish it up with my job and all the other projects I have been doing. If you count the fry containers I am currently running with about sixty tanks. I plan on expanding soon and will be adding in another thirty or so tanks. These last thirty tanks will be the end of the expansion until I build a drip system that will continuously drip in fresh water to all the tanks and get rid of waste water via drilled bulkheads in each tank. Dont ask me why I am adding another thirty tanks as the ones I have already are a chore to do water changes on. Maybe its MTS(multiple tank syndrome) but what can I say Im addicted now.

I've been keeping fish the lat 1960's an ALA member from the beginning, well starting two months after the start--having bought a friend a 'pair' of Neon Tetras, and then got hooked.
I've had up to 110 tanks, bred 200 or so livebearers and a number of cichlids and catfish over the years. When breeding, my tanks were mostly bare, with floating plants; with cihlids I keep gravel, but rarely have had natural setups, and the closest I have now is a 'community tank' with some floating plastic plants, a few livebearers, catfish, and Zebra snails.
My cichlid tanks have rocks and gravel and it's tough to stop them from breeding, even though they are all way over crowded.

Hello everyone my name is James Hall and I am currently living in beautiful flagstaff Arizona. I have been a fish fan for years. My fish hobby started with guppies, then on to a brief cichlid interlude then to killies, wild type livebearers and bettas.
I currently have a medium fish room up and going. This includes 8-10 gallons, 10-5 gallons, 7-2.5gallons, 12-16qt tubs, and soon 4-30 gallon breeder tanks, along with a 46 gallon planted aquarium. Many of these are currently for my killies but some are devoted to guppies, once you have them you really cant get away from them, some mouth brooding and other wild bettas, and some goodeids and sword tails.
I have been interested in wild types of liverbearers for some time. I currently have a small population of C. pardalis, H. formosa, two locations of Characodon sp. full black Moscow guppies, Brachyrhaphis and Ataeniobius toweri. The group of goodeids that I am the most interested in is the characodons, as some of you are already aware having talked with you on other sites.
I am very glad to be here and am really looking forward to getting a chance to talk with people that are really into this group of fish. If your every in flagstaff let me know we can go for a cup of coffee or a beer when I off work. First round is on me.
