    This is why I love this hobby.

    Fantastic read regarding a newly discovered Tetra. It seems it will take some extraordinary measures for this fish to ever make it to our aquariums, but I for one would welcome the challenge. http://www.reef2rainforest.com/2013/06/12/new-see-through-nano-tetra-discovered/

    Back in the hobby

    Hi all, When I was a teenager I had six or seven tanks going in the house, almost all cichlids. My kid brother and I had a 75 gal in which we kept big africans and later some big south american guys. We stuffed our tanks full of big messy fish with personality. Fast forward 25 years. My...
