It's my pleasure to welcome you to The Mining Co. Freshwater Aquarium web site. My name is Shirlie Sharpe, and I'll be your guide during your visit here. Thirty years of being addicted to breeding, raising, and reading about freshwater fish, coupled with fifteen years of teaching and extensive internet experience make me uniquely qualified to guide you to the best information available. The rumors are true - I do have a three foot stuffed fish on my desk, and there are aquariums on all four levels of my house (now if only my garage had room for tanks.....)

Whether you are new to aquaria or an expert, you'll always find something new and interesting on the internet. There are literally thousands of sites that provide freshwater information, and locating what you need can be a daunting task (not to mention tough on the fingers). No need to wade through a sea of information - I'll serve it to you with a side order of humor to keep a smile on your face. In the upcoming weeks and months we'll sail together through a wide range of freshwater topics. We'll talk about everything from breaking in a new tank, to what to look for in a fish supplier, to how long your fish should live. Original feature articles, the best net links, live chats, and message boards - it will all be right here. I'm looking forward to seeing you often and hearing suggestions you have for making this your one stop to find everything you need about freshwater aquariums.
