I'm officially announcing the Central Iowa Freshwater Sanctuary open.  It started with rescuing some unwanted platies from a friend's grandmother.  Now it has evolved into actively seeking unwanted freshwater fish.  I have many years of experience with freshwater.  I would like to think that Mike (MPP) can vouch for my character Smiley.  I am willing to pick up fish within a reasonable distance of Nevada, Iowa 50201.  Donations are welcome but I will not be actively seeking them, that's not why I do this.  It will function essentially as take a fish/leave a fish as I will post the rescue fish in stock.  I would prefer to stick with tropical non-agressive or semi-agressive fish but I'll do my best to house any living freshwater organism.  Feel free to drop me a line at bradmjohnson@gmail.com.

I'd love to do the same here, but it's not feasible at this time. Gonna happen eventually, though. Kudos to you!

Bichers are highly addictive. Prehistoric looking, full of attitude, what's not to love?

Thank you.  I don't know what kind of a response I'll get but I might as well hang my shingle out there.

Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional

LOL I figured this thread would eventually get lost yn the pack. Stickying helps avoid that plus give it a more prominent placement on the page.

Get your facts first! Then you can distort them as you please.You have your way. I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way & the only way, it does not exist.

What your doing is awesome!  Istarted my fish community with rescued fish from a science classroom.  they were literally going to just through them out!!  I live in northwest iowa.

I got a male and female tiger barb
(my purchase was a few mollies, but the tiger barbs would eat the babies)
a beautiful blue gourmi (sp.?)
some very pretty white fish, never figured out what it was, but it was big about 5-6 inches.\

Boy was my husband surprised when I came home and told him I needed help unloading the car.  It seemed like there were fish everywhere! LOL

Now I am addicted to fish.

My tiger barbs were the last to pass.  I had them 5 years and who knows how old they were when I got them.

Now I am addicted to fish.
