Hey thanks for the fun idea

How big was your first tank (Not bowl)- my first, and current only tank, is 182 litre or 48gallon

How long have you been on fishlore? since november 2020 I think? would have to check haha

What are your least and most favorite fish species? Why? parrot fish or flowerhorns- I got into the hobby to learn more about nature and the microbiology of aquariums, similar to my reasoning for not liking pugs I dont like breeding of subpar animals and I think it detracts from the overall hobby. I also have issues with people keeping live animals as a show of wealth or status, which these fish sometimes are.

What is your favorite fish food? my fish pretty much only eat frozen food with some spirilina/algae tabs. favourite would be live blackworms, next favourite would be frozen brine shrimp.

What is your favorite snack? im a pretty serious cook, so its a hard one but a good quality cheese with quince paste is awesome

What is your favorite t.v. show? hmmmm really like avatar the last airbender. also like bobs burgers. Classic is black books.

How many fish do you currently have? 25. 4 pearl gouramis, 15 whitecloud minnows and 6 leopard corys.

Do you keep aquatic plants? If so what is your favorite one? yes I have heaps. I have really liked my red lugwigias. this tank has alot of stem plants so also like rotala. Next tanks I want more ferns/crypts.
