Dying man wants to know...
Dying man asks: Is my wife here? Yes, Im here. Are all my children here? Yes, theyre all here. Are all my friends here? Yes, theyre all here. Then why did you leave the light in the kitchen on?
I sympathize, my electric bill was astronomical last month. The AC was on practically 24-7, then there was three computers, three TV's and 32 fish tanks....
32 Fish Tanks ?
You in some kind of fishy business ?

No I do not have a business, but I do sell some of the young fish, at fish auctions, in and around Cleveland, that are the result of my fish spawning occasionally (helps defray the electric bill). I am just a hobbyist that is hooked on the behaviors of various catfish (corys & plecos from South America) and some of the smaller cichlids (pronounced sick-lids) from Africa. Mostly Lake Tanganyika and the West African rivers. Did you know that the females of some species of cichlids hold their eggs in their mouths, incubating them for up to a month (without eating), while the eggs develop into free swimming fry (babies)? Fascinating, eh?
I don't need fish tanks for a high power bill. My son, his wife & two daughters were here this summer.
I had a catfish in my fishtank that lived 5 yrs or more.

Many catfish are long lived like that. Some of the larger cichlids can live more than 15 years. Oscars, from South America, are one of them. Most of my cichlids are from Africa, though.
