Hello all,

My name is Bob. I am from South Jersey in Camden Co. I was reffered to the site by Crabbymatty. I ran into matt at our LFS. We started talking and I ended up at his house and bought some beautiful fish from him. Matt is a great guy and has really helped me out a lot with my newly set up 180g hap/peacock tank. I also have a 55g mbuna tank that has been set up for a few years now.

I have been in the hobby for many years but only in recent years have started to truly understand it. I have done a ton of reading online and in books. So far the site looks great. I look forward to going to the next auction and getting in on the next group buy!

Since everyone likes pictures, I'll leave you with one, a tank favorite of mine.

I actually bought him off crabbymatty. He's just starting to show a hint of blue on his head. Beautiful fish and can't wait for him to mature.

I know this isn't the photo section but here is a nice Otopharynx Lithobates "Zimbawe Rock" that I got from Matt.

These last 2 were taken a couple of days after I bought them a few weeks ago. They are progressing nicely.
