How long have you had fish?

So, how long have you had fish (and naturally aquariums)? I've had tanks for a little over 15 years now and this hobby still feels new and exciting.

Whatabout you?

I had goldfish from being a little fry myself to about 19 years old then 13 years off, had tropicals about 4 months, so I put under 1 year.

Why would you think people think you're stupid Vixen?

Over 40 years. Always new things to keep/try.

I have had fish for about 2 and a half years, but I have only had tropical for 1 year (pretty much exactly).

Interesting

My first fish were guppies and they lived in 20 liter (5.3 us gallon) plastic tank with lots of other fish that really shouldn't have been in there )

Almost 5 years all together. But it was broken up - nearly 2 years when I was a kid (one 10g in my room), 2 years in my mid-twenties, and I've been back in since last November, when my bf brought home an abandoned tank from work, and it all started again...

i have had them since summer last year BUT i used to have them when i was 5years of age (i am 14 now) and i did a good job at it as well. You would not think a 5 year old could breed mollies could you?
Sold them as well £1 for 10 (babys) i had over 100 in that tank! they will be all dead now like but well started with platys so i should get 100% back in the hobby again!
