I am the Vice President of the Aquarium Society and have kept fish my entire life.  I maintain between 24 and 36 aquariums and aquaponics systems throughout the year with a variety of tropical, saltwater, freshwater and brackish fish.  I am a certified aquatic science instructor and have taught that subject in both Texas and North Carolina.  I am also the sponsor for the Aquarium club at the high school where I teach.  I love to use my aquariums to teach biology, chemistry and even physics and math!
Link to a bioload calculator and fish compatibility charts are provided.  If a student wishes to print the compatibility chart, it is important that it is printed in color.
