Fish keeper. Used to keep mouthbrooders, and long ago had S. American cichlids and a big catfish. Now I have two good-sized tanks with community fish and a few plants.

Oh, and I did SW for a few years so we could keep a few mantis shrimps. Eventually lost the mantises and lost interest in maintaining the tanks.

My main passion is reefs, but, I just traded my nano reef for an 80 gallon tank that my daughter wants to put an Oscar and a Blood Red Parrot in. I will toss a little pico reef together to keep salt in my system!

Freshwater fish keeper here. I'm obsessed with anabantoids(bettas, gouramis, etc) and corydoras. Right now I have a bunch of bettas and one basic community tank(cories, my darling New Guinea red rainbow Ari, my cosby gourami with the word "Wank" on its side, etc..), although I've kept multiple community tanks and planted tanks. The oldest fish I've got is a 7 year old betta, and the biggest is a 3 year old female comet goldfish Panda(the best ten cents I ever spent!).

fish freak here

since my downsizing I have:
one electric blue jack dempsey about 6 inches long named patrick

a fahaka puffer about 4" long named ragnar ("the destroyer of worlds, all that is living, and possibly the universe as we know it") his name keeps getting longer but ragnar for short.

20 gallon reef tank w/fu man chu lion fish named flapjack assorted zooanthids and a few acans

six or seven synodontis petricola catfish approx 4"-6" long
one synodontis birchardi (favroite fish)

and now the love of my fish hobby
pleco's

i have
3 L-204 (flash pleco/emperor pleco)
1 L-264 (sultan pleco)
a breeding pair of L-260 (queen aerobesque no idea how to spell that)
and a bazillion L-260 babies

clown pleco
microspot pleco
like some orange seam pleco
and a lepoard cactus pleco
I can't remember the L numbers on these fellas.

I love all my fish
and will always care for both fresh and saltwater.
now that might be diffrent if there were saltwater plecos.

At my height, I had 15 tanks(14 freshwater, 1 brackish). I am now down to 6 tanks in preparation for the eventual move (my tanks are still in AK with the hubby). I also managed a pet store and took care of the entire fishroom; 90+tanks. Towards the end of my stay there, I had successfully switched 10 of them over to saltwater.

I am mainly into cichlids; old and new world. I used to breed my Africans on a regular basis and plan to do so again in the future when I am fully established down here.
Running tanks include the 210, 125, 2x75's, 33long & 55.
