I have kept fish seriously for four years now. I guess I started when some fish were transported to me in a water bottle as the owner had decided he would stop feeding/caring for the inhabitants. I tried to save them but since I was new to the hobby and knew absolutely nothing, I quickly lost them all. Although I was not successful, I started to research and learn more about how to set up a tank and I have been keeping fish since. I recently started a new 55gal tank, my first planted tank, and decided to finally join since I have been gleaning this site for information for years. :grin:
