ME! heheh jk. Hi, my name is Ashley and I live on the island of O`ahu (Hawaii). So I guess I'll ramble on a little bit about me!
My first fish were surprises from my boyfriend....who caught them in a stream by his cousins house (and I was so not expecting fish, even though I really really wanted some)....so I've been crash coursing my fish experience from there. He caught a whole bunch of HUGE swordtails and one Goby on accident. The goby was the only one that didn't die in a matter of months and he's been with me ever since (little over a year). He's my most favorite fish (heheh) but now he's DYING and I don't know what's wrong with him (will be asking questions in a different forum). My uncle discovered huge firemouth cichlids that run in schools in a stream nearby....so I think I just might have to catch some. I've been caring for only wild fish and just recently bought some fish from the store....actually a whole bunch lol. I know it's not good to mix with wild fish, but my wild fish have no disease and none of the store bought ones developed anything either...it's been half a year now, so it's all good. Recently got a 50 gal tank and a gigantic Cichlid in it (he wasn't wanted anymore by his owner...how sad) which I have no clue on his type....but he sure is big. About a foot or so from mouth to tail end. I also have some baby koi which I was trying to study on....but they are damn hard to care for! What a challenge...don't think I'll be having any kids while those fish are alive!
Okay, that wasn't quite "a little"...but that's me and that's it!
