Jen Williams,
Aquascaper
I got my first tank when I was seven and went through the appropriate array of
guppies, barbs and tetras through to my first encounter with keeping Cichlids
when I was in high school. Years later, via a craigslist ad I posted stating
Firemouth Cichlids, bring a net and a bucket!, I was introduced to something I
wasn't expecting, a formidable former Army Lieutenant in my living room filling
his bucket with fish, and telling me all about local fish clubs and planted
tanks. Armed with a healthy dose of curiosity at what kind of characters would
be at a fish club meeting, I attended my first GWAPA gathering and was
completely hooked. Serving on the Board in several positions (including two
terms as President) I have also enjoyed participating in events with the other
local clubs and the true friendships I have made in this hobby. I currently also
sit on the board for the Aquatic Gardener's Association (AGA). To date, I have a
stack of ribbons from aquascaping contests, and have truly enjoyed the
competitive side of this hobby. I am also an avid fan of Blue-eyed Rainbowfish
(specifically Pseudomugil) and enjoy keeping and breeding them with the rest of
my eclectic assortment of fish. To pay the electric and water bills that
accompany all of the assorted gallons of aquatic madness, I work as a Graphic
Designer and also enjoy fast cars as a former professional drag racer and
purring cats as a long-time volunteer/rescuer with the 4Paws Rescue Team.
