From Ron: I
was introduced to the tropical fish hobby by my Aunt. Although I had
goldfish for a number of years prior, it was my Aunt who started me on
tropical fish by giving me a two gallon aquarium complete with fish for my
twelfth birthday. It didn’t take me long before I had a number of 10
gallon aquariums. Over my teen years the hobby grew to 40 aquariums
of various sizes in my parent’s basement. Jim Sours Jim Small Helen

Simon
Luffman from Ontario, Canada identified the so-called "red
datnioid" in our miscellaneous oddballs section as Lutjanus
argentimaculas otherwise called a redfin or mangrove snapper. Chris Argue put the same ID on the "so-called red datniode" back in April. He added, “I hope this helps, since getting back on the net I have found your web site to be quite informative and almost entertaining ...” Sorry I misplaced your email, Chris.

from NY (wherever that is) identified a South American gar we couldn’t
peg earlier.
Travis Underhill
hails from Ontario, Canada (which is pretty big place. Here's
a thumbnail bio. My name is Travis Underhill, I reside in
Ontario, Canada. I’m 16, and have had a fascination with animals ever
since I could understand what they were. Since then, I’ve grown much in
the knowledge of the captive care of many different animals. What
interests me the most are the rare and unique species. I’m really into
fish, reptile & amphibians, but again, like anything exotic. Should
you search pet forums, my username is vipervenom. I currently moderate http://www.chameleonsonline.com
and http://devoted.to/petchat. I
currently own 3 fish only tanks, a halloween crab, and a Veiled chameleon.
However I am always expanding. I have been keeping brackish and freshwater
fish for over 3 years and soon will be moving on to saltwater. I have
experience with many of the less seen fishes. I have a personal website
mainly about chameleons at
Kyle Szeto info: My
name is Kyle Szeto. I’m 13 and I currently reside in Pleasanton,
California. I moved here from Fremont about two and a half years ago --
and, no offense to people from Fremont -- I like it a lot more here.
There’s a whole lot more
wildlife, but enough about that. I suppose
school takes up most of my life, but I try and squeeze in as much as I
can about animals. I currently own: an ornate horned frog, a tiger
salamander, an American toad, a leopard gecko, a kingsnake and five
bettas, to name a few. Like I said, I like animals. I suppose I like
fish, reptiles and amphibians more though. I’ve got quite a fetish with
frogs...yeah...that’s all I can think of to say right now.
Jared Randle info: My name is Jared Randles, I’m 20 years old. I grew up just a few blocks from Aqualand and used to love visiting to look at the fish after school. I now live in Ankeny, but I’m still a loyal Aqualand customer. I recently purchased a 29-Gallon set in which I currently have 5 serpae tetras, 6 danios (my original cyclers), 2 weather loaches, 2 Algae-Eating sharks, 1 red-tailed shark, and an African Dwarf Frog that likes to climb to the top of my drift wood and run away as soon as I grab my camera. I am a newly independent member of the hobby, my parents always raised us with fish tanks around and I finally got back into it on my own. I love studying fish and other aquatic life. I’m trying to establish an all natural aquarium containing as few “traditional” fish as possible. I like the challenge of unusual fish. Rachel Rushing info: My name is Rachel Rushing and my boyfriend is Kevin Carboni. He’s actually the one that wanted me to write to you about the differences in our “butterfly gobies” behavior and what you had on your fact sheet. I am 20, Kevin is 24. This is our first brackish aquarium and it is doing great. I lived in California most of my life (up till 2 years ago). Kevin was born in Turkey and has moved from state to state. Now we reside in Northern Florida. I’ve had several fish tanks since I was quite young and so has Kevin. But the tanks we had always had 5-10 different types of fish in them. We wanted to find a really wicked looking fish that we would enjoy having lots of. When we saw the “Butterfly Goby” at the local fish store we knew that is what we wanted in our species tank. Right now it’s just a 10-gallon with 6 of these cool looking guys. If all goes well we want to get a 100 gallon and have about 50 of them. We are hoping to get these guys to spawn for us. It’s a little early yet, but we’ll definitely let you know if we are successful!!! James,
