Hello, I am new to this forum, but old to the hobby. I have been in the fishkeeping hobby for over four years now. I come from another forum I was Arora on there. Today I learned that the site is going to shut down due to the decrease of faithful members. It came as a blow since I had grown quite fond of that forum, but I hope I will meet new knowleagable and friendly people here too :) On from the "debby downer" talk, let me tell you about me and the "children."

I have 3 tanks running right now, I used to have much more than that, but then I decided to get a hamster lol.
Firstly I have a 29 gallon with a White River crayfish named Rainy. She has never tried to pinch me, and is now a beautiful deep blue, {used to be brown}. I rescued her when she was just a baby in my yard, the water was drying up, and she was just sitting in a bit of mud, it didn't even cover her completely..her pincers were too tiny to dig in the hard ground.

I have one 10 gallon with a Samurai betta { later found to be a dragonscale betta } Named Samurai. He is pretty much blind in both eyes now..due to diamond eye. I have scarcely had him for a month..
Lastly I have a 5 gallon with a delta tail betta called Peter. He has lived with me for over 2.5 years!

Now to talk about the "non" water babies. I have 2 cats, Leo and Tiger, and a two month old kitten named Dustie Star. I have a dog named Sparky, and a little dwarf hamster named Buttons, who has been with us for 8 months come June 8.

Welcome to Fishlore! I think it's cute that you consider 4 years as "old" in the hobby! There are many here who will be happy to help when you need it!

I used to be on a forum called Fishgeeks, but that closed down many years ago. There used to be a lot of general fish forums, but many forums have died primarily due to social media like Facebook. This one is still a fairly active group, and I'm sure you will enjoy it!

Lol, I guess when your 16, 4 years seems like a long time haha! I have picked up a lot of info in that time though ^-^

I know right?? {about a lot of the forums closing} I don't really like Facebook all that much, it just seems like a lot of the fish groups on there just ...well, do what they want.
Welcome to fishlore!
Thank you!
