My dad kept fresh and saltwater tanks, i did everything with him, from feeding, water changes, and testing water, of coarse i was just a little fella . One day whe n iwas five i went to my lfs for the fist time, they had MONSTERS OF FISHES!!!

from then on, I new what my destiny was

My mom bought a small fish tank at a garage sale and stocked it with Angel Cichlids and Discus Cichlids and ever sense I have been hooked.

Caught myself a pair of gudgeons at the local creek oneday.

Addiction grew from there.

My dad is a biology/chemistry teacher...so I naturally had a fascination for animals. he had a 40gal tank with guppies so i decided right then and there that i wanted fish...so at 7 i got my first tank....lol....and started from there. My first cichlid was a Crenicichla sp. 'belly crawler'...thus began my never ending addiction to pikes...

Because I could catch some of the aquarium fishes for free in the rivers of my country Angola. Plus its family tradition to own a fish tank.

Same with me, pretty much word for word. I was my dad's sidekick since I was about 5-6. I've since taken over all the tanks. Now I work at a LFS, so its getting worse
