21 here, got my fish 2 years ago... er "aquarium" fish.. had a few bettas in bowls when i was 16+ but didn't know anything about fish until I found this site
I am 32, feelin pretty old right about now LOL. No, seriously, Aquaria was something I always wanted to delve into, as did my hubby, but start up was always too cost-inhibitive. Last year we bought a 20 gal tank with all the fixins at a yard sale for $10 , so here we are! And darned if I haven't caught that nasty old multiple tank syndrome LOL.
The only downside to fish is they don't like to be petted and are a bit to slick to cuddle. That's why God made cats and dogs.
My mom kept some goldfish for my and my brother when I was young. I'm 17 now and have been keeping tropical fish for a little under a year but have learned an incredible amount of info about fish, much of it from these forums. I plan on having fish for a long while.
48 here. Had a 35 gal. FW tank when I was in my teens.... Did'nt know anything about aquaria then. Poor sword tails... Into SW since last November. Fishes are still in QT while the main tank cycles.... again. Had to shut down the main while I was overseas for 2 weeks. Could not find anyone here knowledgeable enough to be a fish-sitter. Time to make some buddies from the local aquaria club.
DISCLAIMER: That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
I had tanks years ago, then got away from it. Now, I'm back to it once again, and loving it! I've had snakes for a few years, and ferretts, hamsters, dogs, cats, the usual assortment of animals that come along with raising kids. Now, I'm an empty nester. I actually had no pets at all until my recent adoption of Blue, (our cat), and now the tank.
