How I got started with aquariums.:
From early childhood, I've been fascinated by the "other world" going on beneath the water, unseen and mysterious.
I never had a pond or stream to play in regularly, so as soon as I was able I started creating my own.
Favorite fish:
Whichever one I happen to be obsessed with at the moment.
Fish I have bred:
Goldfish, turquoise rainbows, firemouths, pearl gourmis, bluegills, largemouth bass.
Why I like fish::
They are the only pets I have that do exactly what I want them to do: swim around and look pretty.
Best advice:
Be open to everything and learn, learn, learn...
Other pets:
Small hunter cat. Large special needs cat. Resident populations of birds, deer, dustbunnies.
