It has taken me a while to get around to saying Hi to everyone, I have been extreemly busy at my house with a sick baby girl, so the introductions are belated.

I am a house wife, I have been married to my HS sweet heart for 10 years. We have 3 daughters (yes 3 its a big joke!) Cora is 7, Hannah is 3, and Isabelle is 5 months. Isabelle was born with a verry rare birth defect that affects her colon. She was born with 2 complete colons, and one of them ended up in her vaginal canal. She had one major surgury to close the extra hole in her vagina and they made the 2 colons one big one. She has a colostomy for now, while her body heals...and she will have the colostomy reversed around the beginging of April, and she will be a normal kiddo.

I have been too busy to mess with my tanks latley, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. I love changing the water, and moving around my decorations in the tanks. That is my stress releiver! LOL

I've had fish nearly my whole life. It is something in my blood. My Nanny used to have a small store at her home, she raised angles, and mollies, and other live bearers.

I have never wanted to make money off the fish, just always liked having them...but now I have a small problem with too many Jag cichlid fry.

Well I have to go for now,
I'm glad I found this site!
Alicia

Welcome Alicia! Thanks for the wonderful introduction, and it is good to hear your baby will be back to normal soon. It sounds like you have your hands full! We would love to see some photos of your tanks whenever you get the time!

Yes, welcome to the site.

My oldest's name is Isabell (4 yo), so it will be really easy for me to remember your daughter's name (just add "e" ;)). I will definitely add her and your family to our prayer list as well.

Wow, sounds like you have a nice assortment of tanks/fish etc.

How is your "planted community" tank setup/arranged?

Alicia, welcome, and stay strong for a little while longer. By May you should be having lots more time to "de-stress."

Glad to have you with us!
