    This is why I love this hobby.

    Fantastic read regarding a newly discovered Tetra. It seems it will take some extraordinary measures for this fish to ever make it to our aquariums, but I for one would welcome the challenge. http://www.reef2rainforest.com/2013/06/12/new-see-through-nano-tetra-discovered/

    Excited to be back in the hobby

    Back in the hobby

    Hi all, When I was a teenager I had six or seven tanks going in the house, almost all cichlids. My kid brother and I had a 75 gal in which we kept big africans and later some big south american guys. We stuffed our tanks full of big messy fish with personality. Fast forward 25 years. My...

    New to CCA, but not to the hobby

    I recently joined the board and figured I'd introduce myself. My name is Nick and I live in Baltimore. While I'm new to this board I have been in this hobby for awhile. I just broke down my 75g reef tank due to a move, and plan to reset it back up as freshwater. Not sure which way I want to...
