Won a goldfish at the fair. She actually made it about two years in a bowl. Had tanks until I was 18. Took about a two year break.
Got bored one day planned ot a patio for this place with a small fountain. Boyfriend comes up while I'm still scheming this out in my head and says..."there's a bathtub out there you could use it would be better and you could keep fish in it." I resaerched it and found out we could maybe get 5 goldfish in there I told him and he decided that we should just go ahead and patch the old jacuzzi shell we had out in the back yard (some one had patched it with roof material and was trying to use it as a swimming pool; when they moved they left it.) Got goldfish, got koi, realised winter is boring with a pond even in SoCal.
Got a great deal on danios to fill the tanks we'd been using to raise goldfish fry. Saw some dojos had to have one since I always had one in my tanks before. Some where about 6 months ago I got myself a 75 gallon stock tank.
I sent him out for loaches one day and he came back with this 7" purple thing a "South American Dragonfish"...poor thing did not make it through the night. Violet goby...marbled goby....same thing right? lol
So I got some of those and replaced the violet goby with two more.
Now with two clown knives dropped in my lap I have to build my indoor pond.

I was a heroin addict for about 10 years (clean now 
) and it was suggested to me that having a hobby helps, so I bought a fish aquarium to help keep me occupied in the evenings between all the meetings and groups. It worked! My fish hobby (and endless meetings) literally saved my life. been clean for 18 years!

a friend got into it and whenever i was at his house i spent most of the time watching his fish.
needless to say i bought a tank not long after.
i had goldfish when i was younger but i inherited it when my brother was sent down.

A guy at work I was bonin.
I was obsessed with his female kenyi in his 90 gallon african tank.
I had to have one of my own.
It's all his fault.

I kept various fish in my preteen years, in a 10g and 55g tank
Disaster struck one day when power went out and the big tinfoils asphyxiated. Killed my drive for the hobby.
6 years later my dad suggests putting some fish in the dormant 55g sitting out in the garage. I headed to petsmart and bought some cichlids. Instant readdiction. Then I sought out internet forums and became.... well i was already an internet loser then, but now im an internet loser with a fish problem.
