Pam & Gary Chin
Sacramento, California

If Martha Stewart kept fish, her fishroom would probably look like Pam and Gary Chin's fishhouse. Pam and Gary have an awesome fish house. The setting is great. They have some farm animals in the back like pot bellied pigs and some beautiful duck and turkeys. There are tons of pigeons as Gary breeds racing pigeons.

Pam is more of a Tanganyikan keeper and Gary is more into the Malawians.The Chins have an amazing amount of variety in their fishroom. There are all sorts of Lamps, Tropheus, Peacocks, Haps, Mbuna, and many more throughout their numerous tanks.

One problem some of the fishkeepers in California run into is the water contains many gasses that are harmful to the fish. Because of this, the water needs to be off gassed. The Chin's large fishroom therefore needs lots of water, which they have constantly off gassing.
