My story starts with my folks. When I was knee high to a pleco, my folks had 2 fish tanks. A community tank and a guppy tank. One day my sister, who shall remain nameless to protect the guilty, cranked up the heater on the guppy tank. Hours later, cooked guppy smell awaited when we got home. Soon after the other tank was sold and we moved to Sunny Arizona.
To get a view of water, I started my own 29 gal tank when I was in high school. It was a nice community tank. Lasted 3 years until I had to go to college. Damn education, always got in the way of life.
Fast forward several years, and the wife and I decided we wanted some kind of pet. Kids have allergies to EVERYTHING so we decided to go with fish.
I loved my freshwater as a kid, now my kids love the freshwater fish. They can feed them and take part in raising the fish.
I think saltwater fish are nice, but a lot more work and a lot more cash, at least for the fish I would want.
Now, we are just waiting to add the 3rd and 4th tanks to the home.
If I just had a little more space, we could do a really big tank....
