WHile growing up we always had animals but things in water always interested me . I first had a turtle for about 2 years and he got to big for the tank and we set him free in a local park pond where he found a mate and lived happily ever after. My dad wanted a water fall so we combined our interest(how sweet we bonded) and made a pond out side. 50gl plastic molded pond with a nice water fall, and two pond comets for me. Well my dad like the fish so much he wanted a bigger pond for them. No arguements here. we built a 18ft long 4ft wide and 3ft deep pond. Nice. with some sweet plants and a good assortment of fish. Well when i got married we rented a house so no digging up the back yard for my ultimate pond. My gandma gives me a 20gl tall and I figure this will hold me for awhile. It was fresh water and i went to a lfs(very bad lfs) that sold me two puffers and a snowflake eel after I had told them i had a FW. Realizing my mystake I switch everything over in a hurry and started researching. well I lost slim the eel during the cycle but puffers made it and the 20gl that was going to hold me over for a while lasted 4 months then turned into a 80gl with the works. The hobby dug into me and I am loving every minute of it
