I can't really recall. I think my first aquarium was around 10 but I kept them off and on my whole life.
fishkeeping is in the soul now..

Still do! I also get paid to be in it!!!:grinno:
wow... that is truly awesome... have to hear about this sometime:D
 
Ive been keeping fish since i was 13...starting with a flowerhorn in a 1 foot by 1 foot tank. now im 20 so 7 years. i fell in love with catfish after my first RTC. i feel like i know a lot about RTCs, TSNs and RTC/TSN hybrids since ive raised a few of them for 6 years and sum of them are above 40 inches!!!

However i still learn a tonne from NEcrocanis and others about catfish behaviour and diet.

Currently im trying to become an arowana expert like Koji and midnight etc etc.
 
i've been keeping tropicals since 1984 and goldfish before that i will never know everything that's an impossibility as things will always surprise you lol also i've learnt not to believe everything you read in books especially where cichlids are concerned !!!

very good you brought that up... yes even books ... you need to investigate all it says.. what was factoral back then has gone through some changes in the present...i usually research the same question in a few books... thats when you see the contrast in their answers.. :D
 
i feel like a newbie after reading this thread.

anyway i've been keeping fish proper for 10 years now and by proper i mean looking after/owning them fully all by my lonesome.
we did have fish in our house when i lived at home with my parents a very long time ago but i never really had that much to do with them apart from feed them.
as for fish keeping IQ i qualify at pleb level.

i love cats too... nice to know someone who knows quite a bit about them... Necrocanis is great knowledgable source... and sounds like you will be too..you also mentioned two arow keepers i admire..koji pics are totally stunning
