HELLO!!!

Hello all!!! I am happy to be here!!!
I have had fish since I was 5. My parents would wonder why the fish always died on us. I never told them I would take them out and pet them!! LOL!!!

My last tank was a 20 high, and it was a pain in the butt to clean. I told myself, I am done with fish tanks. Never again.

yea, right.


Here I am now, and I just bought a 10 gallon tank for my kids.

SUCKER!!! LOL!!

It gets worse. I almost bought this 100 gallon tank today while I was in the store!! My wife would have KILLED me if I brought that home!!

So I thought.

When I told her about it, and how I almost bought it, she said, great, that would have looked nice in the living room!!

oh well.

I look forward to posting here. I was just surfing and I found you guys. I would never think a fish forum would be here. I am glade it is here. Now I have some people to talk about a hobbie that has been with me for my whole life. Cool!!*SUPERSMIL
