Hi and welcome to my aquarium page.  I have been involved with aquariums and aquarium clubs since the early 80's.  For the past seven years I was involved with the Juneau Aquarium Society.  I have some experience from my previous work as a part-time sales clerk at the Wee Fishie pet store here in Juneau, Alaska.  Over the past 19 years I have kept all kinds of fish  I currently have three tanks funning at home.  . 

I  kept a marine aquarium for about a year, which was one of my more expensive endeavors.  I have also kept goldfish, cichlids, and tetras of many types.  Most of my tanks have been community environments and some were strictly species tanks.  I enjoyed keeping African Cichlids for about a year or so and I have always been fond of discus.  I have a 55 gallon unheated tank of fancy goldfish.  I have a 35 gallon tank devoted to some very active rosey barbs.  I have a 30 gallon tanks that is currently set up as single specie environment for a beautiful African Black Ghost Knife fish that is over 13 inches long.

I do not claim to be an expert.  I have made many mistakes during my years in the hobby and I am sure that I will make mistakes in this site, and in my writings.  I am not a biologist, nor have I  always been successful in the hobby.  But, I believe we all can and should learn from our mistakes.  Sometimes those experiences are worth sharing with others, so they can avoid making the same mistakes or avoid the most common pitfalls. 

The point of this site is providing information, share knowledge, and learn more.   On my links page I intend to list some of the aquarium links I have stumbled across in my web surfing.    If you have any comments or questions about aquariums feel free to send them.   I don't guarantee that I will have an answer to your question, or that my answer will be the right one, but I am willing to try to help you if I can.  The aquarium hobby is a wonderful, educational, entertaining experience for anyone but they can be a source of frustration if you are having problems.

Look at the Article Listing, These articles have been written by me, my friends, and JAS members.  They cover several aquarium topics.  More will be added as they become available.  Thanks for visiting my web page, and come back again some time soon.
