I'm 29 years old and I have been into this hobby for little over a year seriously. When I was about 13 I dabbled a little, but I never got "the fever"

26, got given a goldfish for my fifth birthday (and my sister got one too!). He lived for fifteen years (thanks mainly to my Dad) and I think would have gone on longer but his buddy died and he just gave up the will to live about six months later. Second goldfish when I was 17 - he lived in a separate tank cos he was so tiny compared to the two big monsters! Had to give him away when I went to Uni -- rehomed him with a friend (he was so cute, I wish I'd found a way to keep him but uni was a 6 hour train ride away from home). My four guppies I've had for a few months now and I LOVE them!

37 as well! Oh the '60's, remember them well.

I was wondering about that as well...I can barely remember the start to the 70s!!!!

hello, i am 50ish and have had tanks for years -community tank-this year I got a couple oscars ,Jack Dempsey now i have 3 tanks I added a baby firemouth,and a baby Green Terror to the oscar and baby JD. well the JD started chasing the firemouth and green terror so i had to put the firemouth in the community tank and get another tank to put the green terror in along with a blue 3-spot gourami....
