My dad used to keep fish as a child, and we had a 5 gallon that quickly died out due to him forgetting most of it.Yeah, my dad got me into fishkeeping pretty much as soon as I was old enough to show any interest (around age 3-4), but he had a lot of oldschool misconceptions, like "fish grow based on the size of the aquarium." I never knew better until I started using the internet.
Now that 5 gallon sits on my desk and houses my betta and a few refugee danios
