Well hello all. A little about me: I'm a 20 year old female college student majoring in zoology with a concentration in fishes. Right now I'm serving an internship with the fisheries lab at North Carolina's Museum of Science. Before I moved out of my parent's home I kept small fw tanks mostly platys, tetras, betas, loaches, african frogs etc.
Now that I'm in my own apartment I've branched out. I have two 38 gal tanks one brackish, one freshwater. In the brackish I keep mollies, 1 figure 8 puffer, and gobies. The fw tank is empty right now but it's cycling for a lurker puffer, I haven't decided which species to keep. Right now it's between the suvatti, congo, and palembang. As you can see at the moment puffers are my main interest.
Fish aside, I'm a dedicated ferret owner. I have two fuzzbuts Dakota and Gizmo. I also have my cat, DJ, who enjoys playing whack a weasel with the ferrets lol. I'm an avid horse back rider and the owner of a 3 year old black and white paint horse. In the process of training him which has proven a bit difficult because at the moment he lives three hours away on my aunts farm while I'm in school.
Well that's about it I think. I joined this forum because I've found you guys to be quite the informative bunch and I am way jealous of some of ya'lls tanks. Sadly, it's just not feasible right not for me to keep a 300gal tank, otherwise I'd have a Fahaka (dream fish!). I consider myself somewhat educated in the keeping of fish but I learn new stuff everyday. Let's face it, it'd be boring if I didn't. One of the things I love about this hobby...there is always some way to improve and something new to learn.
