I was born in Manhattan Beach, CA and moved to San Diego in 1999. I've grown to love this city and the people here. Fish keeping is a relaxing hobby that I get to escape from the big city to. I work in the wedding industry as a florist, and I love my job for all the reasons you wouldn't expect. I'm currently not going to school, but have plans to attend San Diego City College until I find a university that will be right for me. I want to study arts and biology.

Rest of Your Aquariums:
I don't have more aquariums than that/those described above.
How I got started with aquariums.:
Well, I'll be a poor college student who's used to having an animal to take care of, and yet dorms permit only a 10g tank with fish.
Favorite fish:
Predatory catfish, eels, and any strange looking monster fish.
Why I like fish::
They are fascinating to watch, come in a huge variety (something for everyone) from pretty, delicate little things, to ugly, carnivorous monsters, provide an excellent source of amusement between caring for and watching, provide satisfaction of a job well done and the ability to problem solve and play god.
Best advice:
Research, then come here to clarify what you've learned and sort out all the confusing, lacking information out there.
Other pets:
Roger, a greyhound.
Sherlock and Jekyll, rats.
Max, Sydney and Jack, some cats.
