Hey!

Currently living in Golden, BC, I'm a photorapher, fishing guide on Great Bear Lake, NWT, and I'm a full-time fishing and hunting artist. Been keeping aquariums for close to 20 years and have bred a large array of species thru the years. Currently I'm keeping 2 tanks with Labidochromis caeruleus "Nkhata Bay" (White), Labidochromis caeruleus "Ruarwe" (Orange/Yellow) and Synodontis grandiops (Cuckoo Cats). Everything is on the cusp of breeding age, just a waiting game right now. Hoping to get them all going shortly though and offer up fry from them all down the road.

List of notable species I've spawned over the years:

-Danio rerio (Zebra Danio)
-Pethia conchonius (Rosy Barb)
-Melanotaenia boesmani

-Melanotaenia lacustris (Turquoise Rainbowfish)

-Corydoras paleatus (Peppered Cory)
-Corydoras aeneus (Bronze Cory)

I was doing so good for so long (traveling) but I've since fallen off the wagon and the itch was too bad to bare. =P

Before the summer I had a killer Tanganyikan Community setup but I left it in the care of my family and they killed everything.
I had a young group of Enantiopus sp. "Kilesa" F2, Paracyprichromis nigripinnis F1, and Cyprichromis leptosoma "Mamalesa" F2...was a heavy hit on the wallet. =/
