Thanks, Andreas!
About your question…:-)
I was thinking…more of the “Old Guys” here know me rather well.
So, obviously I have to answer...and not only with a word…:idea:
My real occupation is Architecture, but since I remember myself, that lovely Aquatic hobby, was constantly “under my skin” …
It was plentiful of tanks in my house always…till the days I had married…become father of 3 children…
and my wife give me a note to move all my tanks conquered the house!
Then I have no choice, wishing to keep my hobby alive, than to make my own small pet-fishstore here in Sofia, Bulgaria …(12 years before)
Don’t think I am a “big retailer”…definitely, it’s not my “lovely” think to do!
and actually, my pet-fish store is just my Hobby “undercover” …
It helps me to have access to a lot of different species of fish
and refresh permanently all my Private Collections of American cichlids, Tetras, Rainbows, Killies, Bettas, Goldfishes, Catfishes and some others…
These Collections of mine are not for sale, they are my joy, my pride and the meaning of whole my aquarist's life!!!

I got plentiful of tanks(more than 60), but most of them are mainly functionally than aesthetic arranged…
Much are overstocked and plants are just for background…
other - just “plants-jungle” of growing plants for future decoration…
An exception to that are a few big show-tanks in my pet fish-store(the Big ones, with my Discus ,Cichlid and Goldfish collection – you had seen yet. )
I don’t like talk much about and show the whole views of my tanks, because they are not anything special ;)
and I don’t wanna recommend my way of keeping to anyone!
Even, showing some of the best of them – there is always some “experts” begun to judge me…:badgrin:
and give their precious advices, thinking I’m so much needed them…:idea: ;)
That’s for now. I hope didn’t bore you much with all above…:-)
 
Wow, that's a great shot of the African butterfly fish! Those gars are amazing, there are a few at a LFS here, I suspect they need a very large tank...

Great story as well, a very interesting thread :)
