How I got started with aquariums.:

Pedro got me started. Pedro is a gorgeous betta splendens (sp?) whom I bought and have been keeping in a fish bowl. I decided after falling madly in love with him to give him a bigger home with more swimming room and even add a couple of tank mates in for him. ~~ Sadly Pedro passed away... RIP Pedro~~

Favorite fish:

I love Bettas, and Angels, and pretty much all fish!...BUT My favorite fish in my tank is the pleco

Fish I have bred:

none, I'm not a breeder

Why I like fish::

Way cool! Beautiful! They are so relaxing. Who can be stressed when they are tending to their fish or just watching them swim?

Best advice:

Dont listen to me!!! Ask someone who knows. lol....but after a year of this,...Get a bigger tank this fish keeping is way addictive!!

Other pets:

Land Hermit Crabs...soon to be some more ADF and a puppy!!! :D
