I’ve Got the Aquarium Bug Again!

I’ve been away from fishkeeping since the fall of 2015.  It began when my wife went into the hospital for the last time.  She later passed away in July of 2016 and since then I’ve been sort of lost.

When I closed Ball Aquatics and took down the fish room, I knew that someday I’d be back. With that in mind, I just moved 100+ tanks and other equipment into storage so I’d have it when the time came.  Fishkeeping has always brought me such peace and a sense of purpose…

Well, the time has come!  I’ve ordered some fish on AquaBid & purchased plants from several different vendors.  Today, I went to my storage and got three tanks, two 20 Longs and a 29, a rack and some other equipment to get them set-up.

The fish I ordered are Devario maetaengensis.  I’ve been watching the WetSpot’s website to see when they would have some in stock and by luck found some on AquaBid.  I ordered 16 so I should have plenty to start a breeding project!

For plants, I ordered some Vals, Dwarf Sags, and some Hornwort.  Just easy to grow stuff.

Let the adventure begin!
