December 2016 TOTM – fanflv

 

INTRODUCTION:

I’ve always loved fish. My tanks just kept on getting bigger and bigger. I went from a 10 gallon to a 25 gallon and now my 75 gallon tank. I love watching the fish and plants grow.I’ve kept aquariums for the past 5 years. I enjoy it a lot. I also keep two mudskippers in a 25 gallon tank
