car67 Posted February 14, 2009 Report Share Posted February 14, 2009 30 odd years ago :oops: I had a large fish room in my house.Was into the local fish club scene big time.A good friend at the time was into commercial importing of fish for supply to NZ pet shops. My goal at the time was to breed discus and rear them.Once I had done this that was the end sold every thing rid my house of anything to do with fish.Amen. :bounce: Got married last August and my wife brought me a fish tank for xmas last year.(her heart was in the right place) don't tell her but $1000 later it is up and running with all the gear and fish.I started with angels,khulis and algie eaters.The urge to get back into discus won out so now I have 6 young discus hopeing to get a pair or two. One last comment in the 30 years since I was into keeping fish technology has encrease leaps and bounds and so has the cost of it. Now looking at seting up a second tank for the hopefully young ones.

whetu Posted February 15, 2009 Report Share Posted February 15, 2009 Welcome home! :lol: I believe the biggest fish-keeping technology change in the last 30 years is the Internet! It makes it so much easier to keep in touch with others in the hobby, and hear about their experiences with different fish, equipment and techniques. It also makes it so much easier to seek help if something is not going quite right - and therefore you're less likely to become discouraged and give up. (Especially when 20 other people say, "that exact same thing happened to me!") Anyway, welcome aboard. I'm sure with your past experience you will soon be back up to speed and sharing some of your tried and true fish-keeping wisdom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
