i think we all got fascination of aquatic life but how did you find out about all the fish you could keep in a tank because all i ever knew were goldfish

I was given a free 30 gallon tank from my old job many years ago. I thought it was a huge tank! LOL! A bunch of random stocking and epic fails forced me to read more about aquatics and various species. I have gone through many tanks and fish since then. I fell in love with the hobby and never looked back.

My parents got me a 5 gal tank about 120 years ago. If I remember, which I don't, I think I thought it was cool. Had a tank ever since, I think????

Simply put I love animals and I'm a designer the aquarium is a perfect marriage of passions. Keeping/spawning fish is one kinda entertainment but setting up and decorating an aquarium is my other passion. It all comes together to really grab me on so many levels. After I got into cichlids and oddballs I also grew attached to some of my more exuberant fishies.
