New to the world of MFK!

[Nexusrider12]

Well I just registered on MFK and it won't let me post anywhere else, so I guess I will introduce myself and my tanks! =)

My name is Patrick and I live with my aquarium-loving girlfriend in Port Matilda, PA. We are avid lovers of fish and find them to be fascinating creatures.

29 - 7" florida gar (Reptar) and 5" red tiger oscar (Kouder) aggressive tank in progress
29 - 6" butterfly koi (Spock), 4" Ryukin goldfish (Groucho), 4" common pleco w/ no name, 5" weather loach (Cujo), 7" peacock eel (Ava), 3 otos and a siamese algae eater
20 - 3" Chinese banded shark (Zuch), 2 otos, siamese algae eater, 4 gold tetras, and 5-7 guppies (they breed so much it is hard to keep up LOL) This is a cold water tank (68 degrees F).

Anyways, those are our tanks. Leave me some feedback if you all can think of anything to improve them. =)

Welcome to MFK. I hope you have plans for a much larger tank for the O's, the banded shark and the gar.

Welcome to (V)FK.. do you have any pictures of the future monsters?

 

[Nexusrider12]

Not right now. My digital camera is on the frits. I will post pics of the future monsters as soon as I get my camera fixed. LOL I am trying to sell my gar, so I had to borrow a friend's camera to get those pics up.

After a while on here, you will have so many fish you will have given up on names for your fish. Yes, you will need ALOT of more HUGE tanks.

LOL Well I eventually plan to reduce my monsters to just a few...like Zuch and Kouder. I'm trying to sell the gar and gain a flagtail. Once I can reduce my freshwater monsters down to about a 200 gallon tank, I will have a couple of saltwater tanks. That is my ultimate goal. Having and raising freshwater fish will give me some experience to help handle saltwater tanks. My profession is a marine biologist, so I have more of an affinity for saltwater fish anyways (I find them to be vastly more colorful and in some cases have more colorful personalities). But I love my oscar already. I have had him for an entire 4 days and he seems so have such a bright and vibrant personality. =)
