p.s. I understand the need for Latin in taxonomy. However, in grade school and part of high school Latin was a required course. I learned to hate Latin at a young age. But when it came to fish, "Veni, Vidi, Velcro"

Honestly it would take me a good hour to compile a list of them all but the only species that’s important to me is Tetranematichthys wallacei/Wallace’s shoehead catfish. This is truly a beautiful species that doesn’t get anywhere near enough love in the world so I’m trying to breed it so I can send them all throughout the world so that others may enjoy them as well.

LOL and blue/honey gouramis...I think that's everything.

 

[MultipleTankSyndrome]

-Common pleco
-Rosy reds
-White clouds
-Guppies
-Red tail shark (will have again!)

-Squeaker catfish I don't know the species of, that was not a featherfin
-Zebra loach (will have again!)

Currently:

-Green neon tetra

And this does not include 4 species I haven't yet kept that I will next year.
