Hello. I am Aufwuchs. I would like to introduce myself. I am, as I have found, like many fish keepers: returning to the hobby after a few decades of hiatus. As a high school student I kept killifish, but had to stop when I went to college. After college, time, space and work prevented any return to fish keeping. A few years ago my then nine-year-old daughter expressed an interest in a tank of fish. She lost interest after a few months, but I was hooked.
I do not own any large fish, much less monsters. This is not because of disinterest. I continue to be plagued by a lack of space. I plan to move the fish into my greenhouse; but even there the largest tank will be a 20 gallon long. I have a few pairs of killifish from the Fundulopanchax
genus -- if disposiition and pointy teeth count toward "monster," then these species qualify.
Why would I join this site? The reason is straitforward: I believe that the problems we aquarists face differ only in scale, not in kind. I hope to learn and contribute much.
