I'm 23 will be 24 next may!!! and i still live with me mum and step dad as i can't afford to move out or buy a house.
We had a tank when i was 12 and my sister was 10, we bought it second hand i think, from what we can remember we use to hate the water changes too. we did have nice fish tho!!!! black mollies, neons and guppies oh and we tried to keep plecs but they always ended up dying on us.
I don't have room for a plec but i do have an otto and he's a chubby little fella
