How's it going guys??
I've been lurking here for quite some time....A lot of useful info here...I've been in love with fish since an early age. Initially wanted to be a marine biologist, but the way the market goes not many jobs in the field, so I decided to make my own sea world. A little bit about me...I live in a little town south of San Antonio, I'm 24, and I love the under water world. Currently I have a 180gallon with a mated pair of oscars about a foot long that happened by accident, a pollini? about 7in long(black with small aqua spots) which y'all helped me out with (had the dreaded bloat and never had I dealt with it before), and about 10 texas cichlids 1-2in long. Next is the 90gallon Saltwater with a russel's lion, panther grouper, and a sargassam angler fish(bought from a bait stand in rockport TX) which is a grow out tank until my 300+gallon project. Then a 50 gallon tank with my baby's oscar(8in) and chinese hi fin shark(3in). Then comes my 29 gallon biocube with 2 perc. clowns, 2 green chromis, and a yellow tail damsel. Finally a 29 gallon planted tank with 2 small angels, mated pair of german rams, and a breeding colony of clown killis. I have my hands dipped in a range of niches. I would like to get into some monster fish soon. I spend more money and time on my tanks than my gf. Any Texans out there have any intersting fish for sale or trade?..Thats it for now, keep up the help and I enjoy this entire forum. Thanks Monster Fish Keepers.:headbang2

Hi Clayton and Welcome. I am just west of the Ft. Worth metroplex area. Glad to add another Texan to MFK group.
 
Welcome!
 
Thanks guys...I look forward to contributing...A few pics from my aquaria...I work in the oilfield 2 on and 2 off and my g/f is just learning the tricks of the trade so sometimes I come home to an ungodly mess, but shes learning:naughty:. Sorry for the crappy pics can take more if requested... Also..can somebody tell me if I have a pollini or bleekri? think thats it...I rescued it from a lfs...I also forgot to add that I have a HOB refugium on my SW aquarium with my buddie(a catalina goby) and I have a large Condy and a colony of mushrooms and zoas.
