What got u into Fish keeping

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
My neighbor gave me a 20 gallon when I was 9-10, I had 3 common golfish, an angelfish and something else....

Then I got a goldfish from a fair and my whole tank ick... I gave up on my aquarium for a year or two, then I decided to get a 55 gallon for my birthday.
 
I got a job in the Reptile/Fish section at Superpet...figured I should probably set up a small fish tanks so I knew what I was doing...
 
About 4 years ago my neighbor's dad got a free 50 breeder and i was about to get a tank for a crested gecko but he got 3 piranhas and was braggin about how amazing they are and then i changed my stock to a 30 with some little cichlids in it, within a few months i was hooked and got a 55, now ive got a 110 and still want more haha
 
My dad used to breed pirahna when I was a kid. When I was 8 he set up a 55 gal in my room with a few of his fry.
 
nice keep the storys comin
 
I was always fascinated by prehistoric animals. I can't keep a megaladon or a t-rex so I keep ancient fish and monitors. I suppose I should keep birds too but they annoy me.
 
I remember being about 8 and my parents had a 55 with a huge oscar that used to always jump out. Since then Ive had a tank of atleast ten gallons up. I just got a 75 so thats the biggest tank ive owned.
 
Well i first started at the age of a toddler when my mom brought me a 3 foot tank with some gold fish, i was amazed by them (so i was told), then after 5 years when i was 8 i got a tropical setup with small angel fish, tetras, clownloach, stripped doras catfish and a common pleco, was my pride and joy then (ok dont laugh guys) my mom wanted me to be a jocky (horse racer), and i had to give my fish away (i wasent happy) due to show jumping comptions and races, but when i was 14 i got to tall to become a jocky (thank god) , so i had time to go out more and more time on my hands so i got a 2 foot tank with tetras and othe small fish, then i got a 4 foot an brought some oscars and ive been in it ever since, just love fish and how they suvive in the wild,and everything they do.

I loved fish growing up so when I was 5 my parents got me a 10g aquarium and it just grew from there.
 
My friends all had aquariums and my dad had some so he bought me my own 55 hex
