Our Tropical Aquariums

About That Fish Thang!

Heeeeeeeere fishy, fishy, fishy!

It's a food chain thang.

We currently have four aquariums running. They range from 10 gallons to 30 gallons. This aquarium size restriction is only due to the space restrictions where we live. If there were more room in our place - we'd have 150 gallon (and more likely, larger than that) tanks full of the little scaly creatures. Click on the breed names listed below to see a picture of the fish varieties we have obtained to date. Please try the red "Click Here" icon lower down on this page which leads you to the Aquarium Links Page for more information on our aquariums and fishes; and links to many outstanding websites pertaining to aquariums and fishes.

The first link following the horizontal blue bar, below, takes you to the Cabrillo High School Aquarium home page. What started as a class project by a Cabrillo High School student and his faculty advisor has become an internationally recognized format for reef ecosystem study. This site is worthy of your interest.

The "FINS" link, below, is the source for many of the fish photos shown when the breed name links are activated. I urge you to visit the FINS home page after perusing the pages listed under the Aquarium Links index you will find by activating the "Click Here" button.
