Tough being a 1st Generation MFK

[zenyoungkoh]

Haha bro, always glad to hear from some local folks. Too bad you moved to LA . Yah I have to agree, most singaporean mistreat their tortoise by thinking filtration isn't required. I think the problem is fish keeping isn't that popular in singapore. Few seminars/showcases about fish were held here. People still think keeping fish was just putting it in water, add an airstone and feed it everyday.

Keeping fish is popular in singapore. Keeping fish properly is not/

i think i may be the ONLY generation of fishkeeper in my family. my parents didn't keep fish, except the koi pond that my mother abandoned when she moved to Las Vegas, and a 10 gallon aquarium i used to breed guppies in when i was a kid.

my kids think i'm nuts and complain constantly about "my mom's fish hobby". the only supportive family member i have currently is my 7 year old grandson that complains to his dad on a daily basis that he needs to go to CA to Grandma Cappy's fish.

Don't sweat it. Time flies. Pretty soon, you will be all grown up and on your own.

I used to keep my betta in a 5 gallon tank with a canister filter.

I currently keep a zebra danio in a 3.5 gallon filtered by a Cascade 500 (115gph).

If your parents had fish when they were your age, doesn't that make you a 2nd generation MFK?

Ok i would like to make a correction. Did an actual measurement on my dad's tank. I was stunted... It was only 10 gallon.

And this morning I found his BGK dead with his stomach riped wide open (my money is on the pleco) and the eyes gurgled out.
