WOW!!!
For my birthday I found my fish guy. Thanks TwoTankAmin for pointing me to FishNut2. I took on Rich's invitation for a 30 minute tour of his fish room. After two turns off I-55, I parked my car in a nice, safe residential neighborhood. I ended up staying for at least four hours picking, discussing different types of fish, and ways of setting up my fish room. I do believe him when he says he has 40 years of fish knowledge, and he is very kind in sharing it. No question is too 'stupid' for him, and he talks to you in a non-condescending manner. I felt like he really wants me to succeed in raising and breeding the fish I picked. Here is the list I purchased:
20 otos, 6 adolfoi cory, 10 marbled hatchet fish, colony of albino ruby, 2 brown BN, 4 albino BN, 10 aspidoras pauciradiatus, 4 whiptails, 4 banjos, assortment of guppies, and bunch of small tanks.
Planning to purchase from Rich after I set up my 125 gal. the following fish:
- 50 cardinals and 50 green neons. I always wonder why people buy 500 neon or cardinals. After seeing Rich's tanks of 1,000+ neon, cardinals, and green neon school together (healthy, eating and fully colored), it is a sight to see.
- 20 rummy nose
- 30 red belly piranhas for another tank
- breeding pair of convects
- 3 more banjos
- 6 panda cory
If you are relatively close to Midway airport, and for me I drive 5 hours annually to Wet Thumb in Michigan, Rich is definitely a person to visit for healthy, reasonably priced fish.
Thanks Rich, the fishes are acclimating well in my tanks.

haha Zigman, imagine how I feel. I went there took $40 with me thinking this guy proally only has cories so $40 in cash would be enough ( I usually use credit cards and do not like to carry cash around).
As soon as I entered I saw beautiful tank with electric ( I think they were electric yellow ) yellow african chichlids.. So I thought to myself, I am so getting these ( even tho they are not compatible with my tank as I later found out from Rich ( fishnut2).
He has an amazing amazing tank with cardinals ( more then few but I still fell in love with the main tank that he has ).. I wish I was rich because I would have bought all ( YES RICH ALL 2800 of the cardinals).
but more to the point guys, I felt like a kid in a candy store. I stayed there for about 1-2 hours, asked Rich questions about all the fish he had ( trust me he has ALOT). They are all hyper ( extremely active ), and seemed very healthy to me! He put food and they all ate, had no sunken bellies or no other signs of ill health.
Sorry for the essay but I feel that this guy is a great person to do business with and those ( the guys from indiana ), if you are looking for some of these fish that ( ask him for the list but he has A LOT) then definately go check it out. You will not be disappointed.
I bought 2 banjo catfish, 3 bristle nose albino plecos, 6 cories, angel fish ( hopefully next time I stop by you have more Rich.), also a smaller tank that he gave me a good deal on!
have a great one!
