Well for years since I was a little kid I was obsessed with keeping snakes, frogs, newts etc. Every time I went to the pet store I would glance for a moment at the fish and then get my crickets or what not. So when I was 19 or 20 I finally decided to give it a shot. 29g community and that was it. 10 years later I have two 29g a 75g and a 48 hex. They have taken over. (I still have a 20g for my other "critters" hehe)
