Hi everybody. I love fish. I currently work in the pet trade where my specialization is fish. I'm not sure how I got this job since at the time I didn't know anything about fish, nor had I ever had a tank. I've been doing the fish job for about a year. I started out by reading books and working with the fish in my store with a little help from some experienced aquarists. After constantly dealing with customers and taking over the fish department I was becoming more and more interested in trying my hand in starting a tank.

Currently I have a 28 gallon bowfront in which is an electric blue johanni cichlid (melanochromis johanni-male). I don't want to "experiment" and mix other fish in the tank which may cause problems. What I really want is to get him a mate so that he has some company, but I have searched the internet and most of the major fish retailers and specialists in the chicagoland area but no one seems to be able to purchase a female melanochromis johanni from their suppliers. If anyone has any advice, let me know.

In the next couple of days I will be starting a new tank; 20 gallon long. I plan to cycle with some zebra danios, then stock it with other tame, but colorful community fish. I am also going to be purchasing a 40 breeder in which I am debating wether to have some turquoise jewel cichlids, or some eels and other semi agressive fish. Thats it for now, Peace.
