I've been keeping fish since ten years old (yes that was in the seventies folks), but it was when I got my first Oscars at age 14 that the big fish / predator bug bit me.
As we all do, as time went on my interests have changed (currently dwarf Channa) but I've never forgotten how much they spurred my interest beyond just keeping fish alive.
Proper nutrition, aggression, breeding, biotopes, filtration, and the biology, chemistry, microbiology, biochemistry behind it all.....still makes me smile remembering that sense of discovery. Thanks to this hobby it has never truly left me.
Hence ocellatus.
