In 2004, (I didnt' get on the WEB until Nov. of 2003) I started finding information on fish keeping and pH, hardness ect, ect, and finding out some of my fish/cichlids were in the wrong paramiters, pH and hardness for one, for their species. They were doing great and some were spawning, the Midas at this point in the 125gal in 2003.. NO problems at all really..
Their is a lot more involved than tank size-gravel color-filter-heater-water-fish.. Many aspects I never thought of when I got my first big tank, OK a 55gal but stil big, in Oct 2001..
I also at this time realized I was not the only person with problems on keeping fish alive and having problems in my tanks.. ICH, fugus problems, ect ect.. MORE reading and seaching on line to find out the cause's and treatments for me and others.. joining many fish forums, Cichlids com for my first one, and helping out when I could.. I help moderate 3 sites now.
I started Aquatic Hobby on a free hosting site "Sudden Launch" in July of 2004, to help ME "store" the links on information on keeping my tanks then 3-55gal and a 125 gal, healthy and thriving and learn more on the cichlids I had.. I share these links with others as I saw so much incorrect information being ADVISED from ppl meaning well..
I did the name search and I liked Aquatic Hobby and it was not taken on other sites. Well it was really but I got the domain first.. Their is another Aquatic-Hobby, which is a great site with great ppl. They do Fresh and salt water.. Raz the owner even sells aquatic supplies in his store in Arizona..
This is not a message board really, but a link to different information on keeping your tank and fish healthy.. U can however post if U need help.
Anyone who sees someone needing help AND U can do so, please post and help them..
I moved to Pro Boards in Oct. 2008 with more options and other great features.. And it is stil Free.. Got to love the FREE..
I hope this site helps you in your fish keeping.
All Have A Great Cichlid Day!! Barb
