. and mi papa.My Dad when i was just 7 bought me my first tank,then my second,third and then i was on my own .I would save all paper route money and buy new set ups.At age 13 i had 11 tanks at age 21 i had 50 tanks and then i started with the big tanks.My friends think i am crazy,I know i am.
well no one i know keeps fish (as far as family and friends). So i dont know if anyone in particular has inspired, just the fact that i want to be the best fishkeeper I can-and make my fish the happiest and healthiest they can be. I just love fish (as pets, and to eat lol)
on mfk its gotta b nocoreus (i think i spelt it right )and catfishlover106 n out of mfk ma dad he always buys me fish when i want 1 
on here well Im still new to the site so I dont know too many ppl but I do have a lot of respect for the following: JohnPTC, Liz, and Gr8. Looking forward to getting to know everyone else this is a great place to learn and meet a lot of knowledgeable people in the hobby. Outside of ]V[FK, well I really got myself into fishkeeping so I cant really say anyone.....well I can say I owe it all to the AROWANA because when I saw my first one my pants got tight, LoL. Thats when I knew I loved fishkeeping and its been that way eversince.

Thanks Cookie!! Means alot when some one says I am doing a great job!
People Who inspired me was ofcourse my father! I wouldn't be into fish if it weren't for him as I have been around tanks since I was born. He inspired me a great deal with not just fish but other stuff as well.
People on the site who inspire me are:
Rally- Inspired me for Managuense
Li- For having the greatest collection I have seen!
JohnPTC- for going HUGE which hopefully I can too!
Nutty- For the best Paratheraps/Vieja on the site IMO ( got me into Vieja)
Midnight-for his DIY's
Mo- Just an awesome collector
And others that I will post up later.....
Thanks guys!!
I picked up the hobby years ago when my mom got me my first 20 gal as a kid so you could say my mom. I would have to say all credit for my love of CA/SA Cichlids and where I have gone with the hobby since I started are due to two people, first my Uncle, he owed the first Oscar I ever saw and It amazed me, second Aquamojo and his "Today in the fish room" posts and beautiful fish.
Now I take inspiration from many here on MFK as their are many great collections and very informed people who help to further not only my knowledge of fish keeping but my love of it.
