I got my first tank when I was about 11 years old, and started working in a petshop when I was 17. My future was staked out
Life didn't want it that way, so I recently got back to the hobby after a 20 years pause. Back when I started the only catfish that was available was Ancistrus sp. which was considered so ugly that nobody wanted it (I don't and didn't think it's ugly just to make that clear!), so you can imagine my amazement when I found the variety of beautiful catfish available today! Brown, black, yellow, stipes, dots and marble. Wow! Then I saw the first picture of a Zebra. That was it, my heart was stolen - I *had* to have that catfish!
So I started reading up on it, and soon learned the very sad future threatening this beautiful fish.... (Rob's site was one of the first I found) I there and then decided I was going to try to breed this fish. I haven't even bred guppies before, but why let details like that get in the way - this fish must not disappear! I wanted to contribute with my drop in the ocean
So here I am - hi group
Some of my catfish
