I started work as an helper in an aquarium in high school. Helped me pay for my weekends out. Loved fish from then on and worked as an aquarist and in a fish shop. Also ended up doing Marine Bio in uni, so huge fish lover here :)  

Answer 2

i started when a friend offered me about 1 hundred of guppy fry.

Now i have 8 tanks, 2 ponds, some barrels and MUCH fish...

Thats a wonderful hobby

Answer 3

I had an empty tank and had no idea what to do with it. I had frogs which I cared from since they were spawn, but then I would have to wait another year before I could do that again.

So I decided to try some fish, and I got 3 zebra danios, which were so interesting and active that I then bought 3 pearl danios!

I love them so much!

Answer 4

Answer 5

Good question.  I stared with a gold fish pound that I grew up with.  I loved the Goldfish and thought fish were fun.  So I wanted a tank of my own in the house. So when I was 15 I got a betta fish first.  They are a Gate way fish.  After caring for the betta for a few weeks I got some Guppies.  I did not know about cycling a tank so all my Guppies died. Then I got the mollies and a cory cat. The Mollies had babies like crazy they were a lot of fun.  

Answer 6

It's not so much the looking after them as sitting watching them swim about. I can quite happily fall asleep watching a fish tank.

Very relaxing way to chill out.

There's a satisfaction in raising fry, but the chill factor is the main reason :0)

Answer 7

My dad kept fish most of my life. We always had lots of tanks in the house, and when I moved out I missed them something terrible.So I got my own. 6 years and 18 tanks later, I have my own little piece of fishy paradise.
