DAlberta Posted April 8, 2006 Report Share Posted April 8, 2006 (edited) For those of you who don't know me ........ I am a professional horticulturist with an academic background and 20 years in the buisiness. (No, I don't grow dope). I also volunteer my spare time with a few well known environmental groups writing articles, attending events, wriiting letters and of course meetings. I also spend time helping out with the Calgary Horticultural Society (I will be a guest speaker at the upcoming show on April 21 to 23 btw - everyone is invited). I also have a soft spot for animals and have no problem speaking up about animal welfare issues and a strong advocate for mental health issues. I took a winter job and the time for me to go back to what I love to do is coming soon. It will be hard to leave because this is a very good job with a good employer. I used to be interested in tropical fish back when I was a teenager ...... then lost interest when I found out about sex, drugs and rock and roll (I was successful but not in that order btw - LOL). Last fall Tammy (da shack up) was trying to quit smoking and I suggested instead of spending money on smokes why not try fish? Well ...... the hobby has exploded to 15 tanks, nearly 400 gallons of water and dozens of fish. We get countless hours of enjoyment in cleaning, setting up, taking down, buying, selling and trading fish N stuff. All of our fish are in excellent health and Tammy spends countless hours making sure everyone is getting along. Truly a very good hobby and it is really nice to share it with other people. (Tammy is the main caregiver btw - I just tag along fer the ride). This hobby fits in well with Tammy (who posts under this name btw) and I as we both have a soft spot for animals. It is truly a cruel workd out there Redneck I say! (God, country, family and community are always close to my heart) God bless Dave Edited April 8, 2006 by DAlberta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barracuda-m Posted May 11, 2006 Report Share Posted May 11, 2006 Hi! I'm Marquita, but my parents call me Barracuda (don't ask). I live in Fort mcMurray, I've been married for just about 9 years, and I have 2 boys, aged 3 and almost 2. I haven't worked in 4 years, and have no plans on doing so anytime soon, but I used to be a dog groomer and dental office manager. Just not in the same building........ I'm new to the whole fish scene, but I'm learning quickly, and getting better at it as I go. My husband thinks I'm obsessed. I agree.

Ichthyosporidium Posted August 3, 2006 Report Share Posted August 3, 2006 I come into your wonderful community, I'm giving "My two cents woth" and all without a proper introduction! I am a rarity in Red Deer, I was born and raised here and still live here, happily at that too My experience in aquaculture was a birth right as my father raised and bred many types of fish, both Fresh Water and Marine. He was only a Farmer from the Eckville area and yet his practical knowledge was amazing. When I was 16, I began what turned into an eight year career at a LFS Called the FishBowl. The owner had a PhD in Aquatic Biology. A hard man to work for, but he took it upon himself to teach me all that he knew. I sudied hard and eventually, I ran the store single handedly. After eight years, I felt the need to move on. It was not an easy decision to make I still keep five tanks, four Fresh water, one Marine, and a terarrium for a coffee table which houses some Betta imbellis, white cloud minnows, weather loach, BN Pleco, and two species of dendrobates (poison dart frogs). It is neat to look at the transition between water and land and how the inhabitants use it. I also have three tanks devoted to killi fish which are my absolute favorite family. My other freshwater tank is a 48 gal. community that is fully planted. I have clown loaches(5), Serpae, rummy nose, and Emporer tetras. Also, there are Two leporinus, 4 halfbeaks, scissortail rasbora, a zebra pleco that is 5 years old (it is the only fish I have named... ...Spot of course!). I also have some jullii corydoras, and I use three farrowellas to keep the algae down. I occasionally am treated to the sight of my banjo cat (this species of fish is surprisingly tame or it just doesn't care about anything). My marine is a 77 gal. reef and houses a pelethera of species of fish, corals, crustacea, mollusks, and other invertabrates. When I get some pics up, I list more in detail because there is quite the variety in there. I also have a small feeder tank, quarrantine tank and hospital tank for both marine and freshwater. This forum seems to be a well informed group that doesn't mind sharing information to both veteran and beginner members. You also seem to be open minded in your discussions. Nice. I look forward to future discussions and topics that this group presents. Cheers people Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
