AmazonTropics.com is a hobby-based website providing information to South American fish enthusiasts. Occasionally, when possible, we will offer fish species to the public. Due to our profession, we have limited time available to care for and raise fish. This is a hobby first and foremost that we enjoy on the weekends.
I started keeping fish at 10 years old when my dad took me into a local pet store. My mom always stated that I loved fish as early as 7 years old. At 16, I started working for the local fish store and learned about many species of fish both freshwater and saltwater. It was during this time that I started a small Fishroom.
Over the years, I have had the opportunity to travel to South America, collect and even bring fish home. Some of these have even reproduced in my aquariums. Today, my fishroom consists of a little over 60 aquariums with fish of the families, Loricariidae and Auchenipteridae, Callichthyidae, Astroblepidae, Cichlidae and Rivulidae.
