To Everyone.....

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
I started when my Uncle gave me a Betta when I was about 6 years old. He lived almost 4 years.
 
I had always wanted a fish tank as a kid, for some reason, I only got turtles.

I decided that since I lived on my own, I made my own rules, then everything went nuts from there.
 
My girlfriend was giving a 10 gal SW with a 2year old tomato clown and she didnt know how to care for it and I had never had a tank so I started to read how to care for her (the clown) now she lives in a reef and she is 7 yrs old.
 
Sadly for me it was a psycho ex girlfriend who got me into it.

Only good thing that comae out of that relationship other than the ending of it. LOL
 
mmm, about 2 months ago i bought a tank for my turtle...
2 months later i have over 15 fish with 2 tanks running!!

then i just wanted bigger tanks and monster fish

Holy crap! :eek:

MTS at its best right there. You were worse than I was when I started.
 
I had Beta's as a kid - always loved fish. Flash forward several years, my fiance woke up one Saturday morning and said "let's go get a fish tank". Several hours and hundreds of dollars later, we came home with a 75 gallon tank... its been downhill ever since :)
 
when i was little one of my older brothers always had fish, reptiles, etc., so i got my interest from him. he came home one day with a big fish that no one around here had ever heard of, an oscar. kinda wierd how the rare can become so common.
 
I always enjoyed going to the lfs, but I didn't have any money to buy tanks and stuff so id go there and just watch the fish. I guess its because it was something I couldn't have so I ended up wanting more.
