Hi everyone! My name is Jonathan and I run a rescue operation for large fish and reptiles in North East Ohio. At Monster Fish Rescue we try to use our networking to re-home fish and reptiles all over the world. We even take in large fish or unwanted fish of any size to try and find them homes. And of course any reptile:) You can visit our website at www.monsterfishrescue.com If you click on products we're also starting a line of rescue shirts to help vocer the costs of rescuing fish and reptiles which can be quite costly at times!

As for myself, I aman oscasr lover all the way. We get a lot of oscar rescues and help out a lot of people keeping them. I've personally kept oscars for over 20 yrs and have bred them for 15 yrs. They are by far one of my most favorite fish! I also have kept all sorts of SA/CA cichlids and a few africans and am into large catfish too, though I believe they shouldn't be sold...

-peace, Jonathan (aka TheFishGuy)
