About my life as an aquarist

This blog is about my journey as an aquarist.

The first time I ever kept a fish was 4 years ago.
It was a fighting fish. Also known as a Betta. It was given to me by a friend, from his aquarist friend who recently died and his family gave away all his fishes.
I really have no plans or even dream of keeping fishes. But I took care of it anyway. Since I love pets such as my cats and dogs.
Many were surprised when that certain fighting fish actually surpassed its life span. Well I guess I was doing a good job. Nonetheless I really wasn't taking it seriously.

The 2nd fish I ever kept was a colony of angel fish. My then boyfriend set up a fish tank for me at home so I'll be amused while I was recuperating from a major surgery. It was complete with plants etc etc I really wasn't paying all attention. All I know was I need to change the water every now and then and feed it with fish food. These pics were taken way back September of 2007.



I'll be posting more of my pets here next time.
