    Questions about trade school for saltwater or saltwater careers

    I shouldn't say regret because I'm glad I went to school and all, I just sort of changed career paths late in college and ended up not really needing a CJ degree. I went to the University of Alabama.

    Questions about trade school for saltwater or saltwater careers

    Marine Biology is a major offered at most Universities. I unfortunately chose Criminal Justice. Looking back I wish I would have studied something cooler

    Trying my hand at breeding

    The same reason why we all do this stuff, it's fun and rewarding and I've got a buyer lined up for future fry. Anything to pad the blow to my wallet. I am new to Africans but it's not rocket science so I should be ok. Hopefully I have enough general knowledge to make it work.

    Trying my hand at breeding

    Trying my hand at breeding

    Yes they are smaller than the labs at the moment, i know when they get older ill have to move them somewhere else bc of aggression and what not. But I'm sure while they're still so small it shouldn't matter, right?

    New Tank!

    If you're looking for black sand look at local industrial/farming stores. They sell black diamond blasting sand that works great. Just wash it thoroughly.
