How I got started with aquariums.:
While I was growing up my parents always seemed to have at least one aquarium going. I remember freshwater tanks with swordtails and mollies and a huge saltwater tank with various inhabitants that dad never had much luck keeping alive.
Fish I have bred:
Unintentionally bred mollies once. Freaked me out when the mommy fish started eating the fry. Not good.
Why I like fish::
They're relaxing and fun to watch. It's interesting learning about different fish and aquatic plants and critters and how to care for them.
Best advice:
Do your research first, join AC and ask lots of questions from people with experience.
Other pets:
1 dog (Maltese) and 3 cats indoors. Chickens and cows outdoors.
