What was the fish

[Skylar]

My first fish were a golden(not sure of exact name) mollie and a betta in a 1 gallon kritter keeper kind of thing. The betta ate the mollie. Then about a year and a half later the betta died of finrot.

growing up witha petstore I have had MANY fish, and have always been an ANIMAL nut. So im addicted to all creatures. We've had everything from a monkey (thing was a nightmare that would rip ya hair out if u went near its cage, needless to say it went back to wherever it came from), to pirhana, to blue n gold macaw. But myself had never PERSONALLY owned a fish tank til last january. =] And the fish that has me HOOKED is the african malawi cichlid. Beautiful fish, GREAT character. =]

My fascination with fish started when i moved to England. I am English and i lived here for 3 years but in 1999 at the age of 11 we moved to Jordan, Middle East . In 2002 we moved back to England and bought a house which happened to have a brilliant pond/ stream set-up, the previous owners had set up a stream with a pump obv. lol which went down teh garden to a pond at the other side and inside the pond were some really nice fish. It just sort of continued from there, my neighbour was cleaning out his garage one day and found an old aquarium and gave it to me.. I never looked back!

Bettas.

I'd had tanks since I was 8, but it was the bettas that got me really hardcore back into it.

A betta was my first fish but it was a pair of balck swordtails 30 years ago that got me truly addicted.

My family had always had fish when I was a kid. It wasn't until the '70's, though, when I began breeding bettas and breeding and showing fancy guppies that I really became hooked. Now, 35 years later, I'm still at it and finally got my fishroom!

My boyfriend got me a 10 gallon community set-up for christmas and that is what got me hooked...but I must admit the two clown loaches I got today from a guy who sold the 55 gallon have got me addicted! Same with bettas.

 

[Nuttygal! :0)]

[OohFeeshy]
