Michelle Ricketts Welcome to Finarama. My name is Michelle Ricketts and since March of 2000, I have been studying the status of our wilds and the origins of our domestics. 

Although, I have taken a slightly different approach to the hobby, it is my hope that the information contained within these pages will benefit the angelfish hobbyist. I would like to know what the controversies are, who is involved, what they say, and if there are any current studies.*I would like to hear all aspects from hobbyist around the world, including conservationist, as well as the scientific points of view. I believe that this is important in order for us all to understand, improve and maintain the beauty of the Pterophyllum species. It appears that systematics are problematic and the need for further research is urgently needed.

I've tried to keep a journal of the activity involved with my research, but life became a bit too busy for me to keep up on updates. You are more than welcome to read it for it shows what little information there was available at the time I began to build this website. It shows how the information pertaining to wild angelfish has transpired, you can find my journal here.

I sincerely hope you enjoy your visit to Finarama!

-Michelle
