    Well Paul, it's like this...

    When John was 20 he left home, and he went out and got all kinds of critters. However, when John was 24 he fell on hard times and moved back home, and well, momma don't allow John to have reptiles.

    So, you see, I am under an edict to only have fish.

    BTDT ...... TWICE

    Fish are cool, but reptiles are and always have been my thing.

    Here are 1/2 my geckos and my $90 rack I built in 1.5 hours, so live vicariously through me

    That's a temp rack until I build a serious 6 foot high by 6 foot wide one that holds over 30 tubs. I still need to build a hatchling rack soon too.

    Great pic of your fish John. I always enjoy them. We gave up on them several years ago. They kept eating each other.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??
