Rick Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Just thought I would throw a big thanks out to JK47. He had some aragonite sand/gravel from a tank purchase that he threw up on the forum yesterday that he was giving away. It's an excellent example of the Freshwater and Saltwater guys working together. When I was over there I took an opportunity to get a few pictures of his freshwater tanks. I could see at least four that were set up. He is actually a hobby breeder trying to keep the rare fish in the hobby which Matt discussed at the meeting yesterday. He did list off the names of these fish while he was showing them to me (sometimes using the scientific names) so it's obvious he knows his stuff. I'm not even going to try to repeat them though. (I think a few were Cichlids but I'm not certain) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Nice looking fresh water tank. Is that a salamander? Vin "Keep On Reefing" I don't think so but I don't recall what he said it was. (It is completely submerged) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
