Hi, im Alex, and im from Illinois. My friend Daniodude got me started with fish and everything, and he told me to visit this website! Seems really cool! I dont have any fish yet, but I have an aquarium set up, and im just waiting for everything to settle down, so im probably getting my fish next week! I decided to get fish because everyone in my family likes them, and I had an aquarium (previously used by my hamster (not with water lol) lying around so my mom suggested we get some fish and put them in there. Well after talking to Daniodude, he told me what to get and everything, so I went out to petsmart yesterday, and got everything I needed, and set it up. So i'm just waiting for everything to settle, like I said before. -Alex
