Having Fun With Nano Tanks
Mike Schroeder lives and works in Davenport, Iowa. He is the owner of his own business, Plecos to Peacocks, which he established in the year 2002. Mike has been keeping fish since he was 10 years old. He started working at the first pet store at fifteen years of age. He has managed three different pet stores over a 30+ year career. Shortly after the first pet store, he started keeping African Cichlids. They have been his main interest. Over the years Mike has kept and bred a huge variety of fish including livebearers, South American cichlids, rainbowfish, Plecostomus, Corydoras catfish, and. many others. As far as he knows, he was the first person to spawn wolf fish (Hoplias macrophthalmus) in the United States. (Mike has always been a go-to person when fishkeepers are searching for quality African Cichlids. Mike is dedicated to keeping the species pure and always has healthy fish. Editor’s note.) Mike says: “I guess what you can say about me is: I wouldn’t have been doing this for so long if I didn’t enjoy it. I plan on staying in the tropical fish business for a long time yet to come.”
