Rachel O’Leary of Mount Wolf, Pennsylvania has been in the hobby since childhood but has gotten increasingly active in the past decade. She is currently operating over one hundred tanks with interests that range from the micro to monster. She has a special focus on dwarf freshwater invertebrates including snails, shrimp, crayfish, and aquatic crabs as well as all freshwater nano fish. Rachel is currently housing hundreds of different species, most of which are in the nano category. She also has a passion and interest in gar and polypterids and houses several species.
.
Rachel actively attends conventions and travels to speak at clubs and conventions on her invertebrate and micro fish interests. A big advocate of rallying regional support, Rachel also sponsors many clubs and events around the United States. She is also a regular contributor to Amazonas magazine, and has done a series about traveling the fish scene, where she interviews and photographs peers within the hobby and their fishrooms, as well as several feature articles including monster fish, breeding utilizing outdoor containers, as well as species reports.
She imports from around the globe to redistribute and help share with hobbyists around the country. Rachel is very focused on education and information for her customers, and personally deals with each individual to help them make the best choices for the tank.
A proud mother of two, she actively donates livestock to schools around her area, and the country.
Recently having finished her first book, future projects include additional writing projects as well as continued travel to conventions and regional clubs to increase awareness of invertebrates and nano fish.
