Just wanted to give a brief introduction as to why I have come here.
I was active with fresh water aquariums in the past, but have been away for 20 years, no tanks at all. Much has changed regarding fish keeping in that time. Most notably, the lighting and availability of live plants. Also, though, the availability of ordering fish on line as an option to your local fish store.
However, I come here simply as a trusted source of information, a one stop for questions to be asked as well as answers and information to be had. I also enjoy the various forums available.
I currently have a 29 gallon loaded with so much driftwood the water is brackish, similar to the color of a cup of tea. I currently have a race going on between bladder snails and ramshorn snails competing to see who can populate the tank the quickest.
Above that one, in the same custom made wooden stand, is a 15 gallon tank with 2 white goldfish. I will not bore you with their names.
I'm not real technical when it comes to posting photos, otherwisethere might be a few posted with this.
In a few short words, this is my freshwater existence at the moment.
