[cleekdaFish]

I'm 19

I used to have guppies and goldfish when I was 12. I have a pond in my yard, in Portugal. Have 2 feet kois , and some goldfish. So I was always a hobbyist

i'm 25 and got my first fish 2 years ago
my mum hated the idea of keeping fish, so i never had them as a kid.
so i just got a betta 2 years ago, and when i get obsessed with something, i get REALLY obsessed, so now i advise my LFS and have 4 tanks running, planning a 5th if i move next year.

Im 15, and have kept fish since the age of about 3, coldwater, with things i didnt know the names of, now i know that most of the things i had were hillstream loaches and stuff...
Been keeping them 'properly' for a year or so now, and by properly i mean finding out lots about them, and being very interested in ichthyology and things
