How I got started with aquariums.:

raised guppies and fish from the stream outside in my fishtank while I was little.

Favorite fish:

brislenose pleco or endlers

Fish I have bred:

guppies, endlers, bristlenose plecos, gold tetra, harlequin rasbaros, and emerald green corys

Why I like fish::

cool to watch, adds a nice touch to the place, find that they all have interesting personalities(or temperaments)

Best advice:

do your research before you start, know what type of aquarium you want. More importantly know which fish are compatible and be prepared to spend some time, effort, and money to ensure that your tank inhabitants are happy, healthy, and prospering. Also remember just because a fish looks cool/pretty doesn't mean it is the right fish for you. Additionally most fish will do better with live plants, however be prepared to shell out some serious dough to buy all the fertilizers, lighting, and CO2 syst
