So.....How Old Are You?
- Thread starter Aqualung
- Start date
I'm 30, and I've had fish on and off since I was five or six. My first fish was a goldfish I won and brought home (surprise mom!). My mom bought a small tank and kept it in my room for a while, then it disappeared one day - I'm guessing the goldfish died and she tore the tank down and gave it away. I must have missed having fish, because when my grandmother asked me what I wanted for my sixteenth birthday, I asked for an aquarium. She bought me a 35g setup, and I started killing fish left, right and centre. Gradually I learned how to keep them properly, and started going out with a boy who loved fish - a recipe for MTS! I filled my room with tanks, went a little crazy for a while. When I went to university I had to downsize to a 10g, which curtailed things and left my parents with a house full of empty tanks! Now I've got two tanks and it's enough to keep me very busy.
I still have MTS but I go to meetings regularly and manage to keep it under control

Thought this was a good place for my first post. Hi, everyone!
I'm 23, soon to be 24 - yay Year of the Rooster!! My first aquarium was a 10 gallon nightlight with some awfully unfortunate fish including a goldfish, a pleco, and far too many mollies when I was about 5. It lasted until I was 13. I picked up the hobby again in December and have since completely revamped my thoughts on fishkeeping thanx largely to this site and its very well-informed members. I currently have 3 cycled 10 gallons, one soon to be planted.

It's just slight of hand...

Ah, I actually need to contribute to get a post count. That's the hardest thing with this forum - I can find the answer to my questions in previous posts. It's too good!
Petra is the short version of my name, yes. I'm from the Ukraine, but I'm in Utah for university. It's an extremely unique experience.
Matak, of course you don't ask too many questions. Everyone's favorite subject is themselves. I just don't want to detract from the thread.
