I am about to go to bed and when I wake up I will be 60.
I would like to say that this is the most amazing hobby anyone can ever be involved in. For 46 years I have been apart of a fantastic group of people from all walks of life, brought together by their love of fish.
Because this is my Thread I am going to share a story;
I first joined TFF in 2012 and lasted about two weeks. I was keeping African Butterfly fish in a tank with Cardinal Tetras and Discus at the time. I was told by members of this forum that it wasn't possible. I ended up leaving very quickly. 8 years later I returned determined to stick at it and not be discouraged. I know that I stir and I know I am challenging at times. But this is in my genetically make up. Just like kissing Gourami's Kiss and Corydoras Catfish sift sand, I can't help it, I Stir.
I would like to thank all the members of this Forum for their patience and understanding and hope that you see I am trying to be helpful rather than a pain in the *****. ( I have two demerit points so I'm being careful ).
I will finish by saying thank you to each and every member of this fantastic group you have saved me through Covid-19 Lockdowns. To new members and newbies to this hobby, I would like to say we all have your best interests at heart however harsh some of our comments may seem. I only wish I hadn't moved away in 2012 but had stuck with TFF.
Cheers Bernard.
