I started around 12 or 13 by helping my Dad maintain his 55 gallon and his goldfish pond. Since then I've had a couple of twenties and a 55 of my own. So I've been messing with the hobby for almost 29 years.

I had goldfish for about 5 years when I was younger (somehow they managed to stay alive that long even though I knew nothing about how to take care of them).
I got started into real fishkeeping about 15 months ago when I was given a 20 gallon tank full of fish.

I have had aquariums for 40 years.....But never took it as seriois as I do these days..... My equipment has improved 100% and my fish do very well because of it.....

I was 9 when I first had a 3 gal tank and raised a tadpole from egg to full grown toad. Then I got a turtle at 10. Then someone gave me a tank for the turtle and I already had one so I put fish in it. so 11ish

My first tank was a 7.5gal (Still have it) for my 11th birthday.

LOL ... I got my first betta right after I turned 18 I think, but I voted 17 cause I didn't want to think about "middle age"!!

I can take care of them myself but my dad helps me alot ecspecialy when I knock up my plants when I'm trying to net fish. My tank is 30 in deep which is basically up to my waist, so there's no way my arms are long enough. My dad is a foot taller than me.

I started when I was 10 or 11. My mom bought me a blue fighting fish with a bowl. At that time, I knew nothing about it but all I knew was just to feed it everyday. When it died a few months later, I cried so much!
