Mine aren't as impressive as yours, and I'm still quiet young but here it goes! (In no particular order) 10.) establish and maintain a planted tank. 9.) own a tank that's at least 55 gallons or more. 8.) have a cichilid tank. 7.) have more then one tank! 6.) get a custom built tank to be the center of a room. (Like a tv stand one or wall haha) 6.) get a chi cube and absolutely perfect it to look like a Japanese garden. 5.) learn enough to help other people make knowledgeable decisions. 4.) breed fish/expand my knowledge on breeding fish. 3.) have a koi pond. 2.) save a betta :) 1.) have At least one salt water fish tank so I can have a dog faced puffer fish

Nice choices I'm only 18 and feel bad that I have ticked a few of both of your lists :/ I don't have as many as you guys but I've got 5 that there is no way I am going to die without doing :)

5) Set up a 100gallon or more discus tank.

4) Have a 50gallon or more saltwater reef tank.

3) Breed a saltwater species of fish that has never been bred in captivity before.

2) Have a predator saltwater tank, basically sharks and rays.

1) Get my padi open water course qualification and dive along the Great Barrier Reef.
