Hello AQ!

[IlOutfitter]

Hello everybody.

I am new to AQ but have been in the hobby for just about 20 years off and on( military time, wife and kids,career downtimes) Biggest tank was a 90g tx cich tank down to 10g fry tanks.

I am a breeder of livebearers,corydoras and angelfish right now, hopefully bloodfins and kuhli loaches soon.

I have a dozen tanks(12) 2 are displays tanks, 55g community and a 40g rio negro biotope. I keep a 10g and 15g for QT both are currently housing multiplying Malaysian trumpet snails.

The 55 is live planted.

I am no expert and I do not fish keep by the book(less the fry tanks) If I did that Id have to get rid of my family and job due to amount of tanks I have.

The site looks HUGE and well I know at some point I will piss someone off and vice versa but hey thats life, I do not take things personally and apologize ahead of time if I hurt anyone's feelings or ego's.


I will post my build albums sooner then later.

I hail from the NE part of Northern Illinois. I am one of the World's Foremost Outfitters. soon to be 29 with a 3 and 4 year old that are already into the hobby very deeply. I am a wildlife conservationist and manager I avidly hunt and fish to provide food, record fish species,size,weight,condition ect as well as eradicate invasive species, I do keep over 23K US gallons of north american natives at work.

Thank you for the so far great site.

Peppered Corydoras.


The tanks all came down but the two display tanks and my 15g in my room for MTS and QT

Had a pipe break and well needless to say it wiped the tanks out, raw nasties pipe, so yeah I am selling the tanks(100% sterilized) and starting over with a custom set up in another room or possibly the shed.

I will post pics tonight well heck here are the albums
