I am 16. I started fishkeeping because of MFK, which I joined 4 long years ago when I was 12. MFK has kinda been omnipresent in my transitional period from childhood to adolescence... as have been fish. Even though I have now, due to changing preferences, hobbies, as well as convenience, all but moved from fish to reptiles, I still have two tanks running... both of them are mini-monsters. A 10g with a Clown Pleco and a Belly Crawler Pike, and a 5g with two American Flagfish. It's kinda ironic, my biggest tank is a 30g, which, when it held fish, was my first forray into non-mini-monsters. But before that, I had a bunch of 5 and 10gs, and my buddies on MFK used to tease me because my fish and tanks were all small, and I used to just say hey man, they're mini-monsters

soon after, this whole movement on here started of the mini-monsters... small fish became cool, and everyone started posting about their Tetras and things like that.
Because of how big a part of my life MFK and people from MFK have been, I hate when people complain about MFK needing an age limit and stuff like that. Someone said once that MFK isnt a daycare... I kinda ran with that, hence the sig. That's why I hate when kids come on here and show ignorance and immaturity towards fish... because it gives all of us kids a bad name. But fishkeeping and passion for animals, as well as protecting animals and nature, is something that always needs to progress to future generations... and that is why I'm glad that MFK remains open to all ages.
I used to be way more active here on MFK, especially with kids around my age, but I havent been as much lately... so drop me a line, if you wish!
