When I was a kid my dad had fish at his house (parents were divorced) he had three tanks, one was about 15-20g, another was about 30g and his big one was 80-90g. He had all sorts of fish and let me and brother pick out our own fish to add to the mix (the two smaller tanks were community tanks). Eventually he got me my own 10g with swordtails that I kept at my moms. I don't recall what happened as I was about 5 at the time but my tank disappeared at some point. Ive always wanted a tank since, then my brother gave me his old 28g bow front, this was the start of the monster lol. One tank quickly became 5 tanks. My heart settled on Africans because of they color and I soon had loads and had a breeding project on the go. I bred ruby red peacocks, polits and foai. I was quickly over run and ended up settling on just keeping tangs. I ended up getting a bio cube as a reef and then once that was settled and finally the way I wanted it I sold everything. My fish caused issues between me and my ex so I decided to sell and wished I hadn't ever since. My prize fish I sold were my f1 mpimbwe blue frontosas. A couple years ago my father in law gave me his 29g and the monster was reborn. I special ordered frontosas and let them grow out in the 29 a bit then I got a 55 for them, converted the 29 to a planted community then got all the kids their own tanks and just keep buying more lol. I love to stare at my tanks, it's peaceful and and gives me a feeling of calm and serenity. Till something goes south that is.
