How I got started with aquariums.:

My dad and I have kept fish since I was old enough to remember, all kinds- freshwater, saltwater, you name it! So I blame my hobby on my dad ;)

Favorite fish:

Swordtails, mollies, angelfish, and corys

Fish I have bred:

swordtails (many colors), black mollies, gold sailfin mollies, guppies, silver/platinum lyretail mollies, and dabbled in angelfish a little but without much luck

Why I like fish::

They come in so many beautiful and unique colors and varieties and also are just interesting to watch go about their business. I also like the peaceful look of the tank as a whole.

Best advice:

READ UP! There is a LOT to learn in this hobby and you'll never know too much. Also to have patience.

Other pets:

3 dogs: Mini Dachshund, Golden Retriever and a mutt, (RIP Stella, my dalmatian) and 2 cats.
