Just wanted to start a nice cheesy thread for everyone. For me, I've always been impressed with bigspizz's convicts, and other cryptoheros, so I got some for myself. I have also always looked up to Cross127 and his collection. Finally, Ruck Fules fish, especially his Amphilophus, are always awesome.
Who has inspired you as a fish keeper?

It will always be Liz for me. She is a person who truly loves the animals she keeps. She has taken the time to become educated about her animals. She is a person I respect very much here, and have found inspiration from.
I need to add this,
There are some very smart people on this forum. there are also some very ... not smart people here.
I am am inspired by the smart ones! I have learned a lot from them

WyldFya, Wolf3101, John, Spizz, Dread, Liz, Rallysman, Dr Joe and Oddball, directly and indirectly, have all helped me create a better environment for my fish through shared knowledge and experiances. I thank every one of them.
I think Li (Neoprodigy), Dieselmack, Zoodiver, and R1 Ridah are four of my biggest inspirations on this board.......
The local guys that I've met Pat (Zoo York), Kevin(cichlaguapote), Nate (Nate77), and others have helped a lot too......
