How I got started with aquariums.:

My youngest daughter wanted some fish and I was told by a store 68 Ltrs would hold 3 common goldfish and 5 small fish. I thought this incorrect as I did some research so I just bought 2 small common. I still didn't feel right as they said I only needed to leave the tank a week then I could add the fish. I asked aboutthe cycling process and they said to just keep changing the water, which I did. I used a dechlorinator in the water also. It was hell. I then read common fish should not bekept in su

Favorite fish:

fantails and weather loach

Why I like fish::

Very relaxing and a pleasure to watch

Best advice:

Don't listed to everything a store tells you. Do a lot of research and still continue to do so and if you think something doesn't sound right don't do it on a so called fish expert.
