Rest of Your Aquariums:
I don't have more aquariums than that/those described above.
How I got started with aquariums.:
won a couple goldfish at a carnival and had them for 8 years til I accidently turned off the power to the tank ( i was in 1st grade)...
about a year ago rescued a poor betta (Hercules) but sadly lost him too--i actually cried...
then got a couple dwarf gouramis and systematically lost them too...
kept plants only for a while and added fish about 5 months later (Aquarium 1)--2 1/2 years later still goin strong
Favorite fish:
I've loved evey fish I've owned so far
Fish I have bred:
none yet...lots of snails though
Why I like fish::
so much fun to watch---i love the different personalities...very therapeutic...
Best advice:
research fish BEFORE buying....also, do water changes!!!
