How Long Have You Kept Fish?

- Start date
About 9 years now. I never really got into fish because I had too many reptiles. I got caught with a ton of reptiles in an apartment I lived in (so they weren't allowed, so what 
) and had to ship them out. Fish tanks, however, were allowed, so I set one up....then another....then another.....then another. Been that way since. Funny thing was, the landlord then tried to jump me about all the tanks and that I was going to have to get rid of them as well, because I needed to get proper insurance to cover them (she was a btch). I then proceeded to hand her my insurance policy, and show her my middle finger........now I own my house, and still have a landlord limiting my tanks (wife)

So far I'm the only one that answered 28 years, woo-hoo!
I'm turning 36 this month, I got my first tank in second grade. Nobody else in my family has ever kept fish, so I don't know where it came from...
During that time I've been without fish for 8 months, when I was 16. I went away as an exchange student to Mexico and had to sell my first Silver Aro
Since then I've kept at least 100 gallons of aquariums going, even while going to college. I may not have the most tanks or the biggest fish these days, but I'm no Newbie!
