I thought one day, 'I wonder if theres people like me crazy about fish' typed in fish forums in google and this was the only one that caught my eye, and the wonderful people greeted me on here, made me stay!

Google

I'd suggest that 90% arrive at fishforums because they buy a tank on impulse and take advice from people at the lfs who are there primarily to get as much mula from their pockets as possible. Some give up, usually because their fish keep dying. Others turn to google sign up at whichever forum looks best. Ask for advice and get asked the most basic question. "Have you cycled?" To which their reply is something along the lines of "What is this cycle you speak of?" Or "I used this bottled stuff on the advice of my lfs."

Some stay, absorb, research, and fine tune. Others, when they realize the dedication and work involved exit left.

I purchased a tank as there was one at work... Then i ended up having the one from work too when it had to go. Brought a new tank and just set it up and banged all the fish in within a hour of fill up. Then i wanted to know why it was cloudy... so did a bit of a search and found this site. Never joined up, just raided it for info. Then i got the bug and tried to find it again so joined up when i did.

Stumbled across it by accident, probably when researching corydoras. Have since found a couple of Aussie forums that are closer to home but find them too slow moving with a limited following of fellow Aussies.
