How did you get involved in fish??

i had always wanted guppies, since i can remember i had been asking my mom for a fish tank for ages and when i moved into a commune last year it was my oppertunity to get one hehe. cant say im disapointed

 

My bully always had really big tanks I loved when it was cleaning time once every two years or so, he would put me in the tank and said catch some fish “very cool swimming in a fish tank” that was me hooked. Had fish ever since.

 

Grew up in Richards Bay in the 70-80s Caught guppies , and small rooibors kurpers and kept in an old tank....even caught some tigerfish from the bay and convert them over time to freshwater....what a childhood...eish

 

Found my dads old fish books(From the seventies). Looked at all the pretty pictures and asked him if I could get a tank. We built our own tank. Had it for a few years then I moved around SA and gave it up as I never had place to put it. Know I have the space and time, so Ive setup that same tank again.

 

Saw a starter fish tank at pick and pay (30L),after i bought it i went to my lps to buy a heater and some fish (2 upsidedown catfish,1 angel,2pag catfish,2 guppies and 3 snails)it didn't tkae long for the fish to start dying,i would feel so depressed everytime i woke 1 more fish would be dead.i eventually gave the ones that were still alive away on TASA.

 

Saw a starter kit for a decent price, had always seen other people's tanks and so I just decided to get it! And now, what can I say, I'm hooked!

 

my sister got a tank when she was 2 and 4 years later i was born and kept on throeing fruit in the tank for the 2 gold fish my parents packed up the tank.When i was 2 we found a sewerage river with guppies in and caught some and my parents got me a bowl.5 years later got a tank,4 years later got another tank,2 years later I got a 800L tank and it shattered with all my fish in and only 7 sword tail babies survived and the my parents had a 300L tank made for me then my bro got his 108L tank witch he gave up and now its mine.

 

Got given a goldfish in a jar when i was small, from thier dad got about 3 tanks breeding angels. And i just picked it up from thier.
