When I was very young, my FIRST FISH was a fancy goldfish I won at a school fair playing a simple game…. Shortly after the goldfish lived his short existence ☠️☠️☠️ 😭😭😭 I got my FIRST “ REAL aquarium “ 🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟🐠🐟 with “ tropical-community-freshwater-fish “ from our “ LFS ” ( Local-Fish-Store ( just a petco/Petsmart ) with various types of mollies, platys, guppies, and a few Tetras…. I will never forget 🚫🤔 that one day ⛅️ my mom 🤱 found my POOR Plecostomus 🐟 laying on the floor 📥😯 all dried 🆙️ ( the lid was NOT tightly secured and it had jumped out 🐟📤🥲🥲🥲 ), she thought it was fake and put it in a box with the rest of my TOYS when she was cleaning my room. I was COMPLETELY HORRIFIED 😱😱😱 to find it later when I was playing WITH my toys!!! That was my first “ tropical-freshwater-community-tank “…. When I eventually moved out into my own space(s) & places; I experimented with many different types of tanks…. I had some small “ saltwater-community/reef tanks “ as well as SOME “ medium-saltwater-solitary/apex-predator ” FOWLR “ ( Fish Only-With-Live-Rock ) tanks. But my favorite type has always been tropical-freshwater-community tanks because of how calming it is to just sit back 💺and relax 😍😍😍 and enjoy the fruits of your labor as the fish peacefully enjoy each other's company 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 I also have vast
experience with the set up and maintenance of multiple “ Nano-tanks “ and multiple LARGER tanks OVER 40 gallons!!!!!!! I have also successfully set up and maintained multiple “ freshwater-solitary apex-predator-tanks “ ;-) over my DECADES of fish-keeping I have tried out every configuration of aquarium and AFTER I left the Air-Force in my early 20's I had an electric bicycle accident which put me in a civilian rehab hospital 🏥 for 12 months, during that year I meticulously studied every single YouTube video EVER POSTED about the art and science of fish-keeping and I soaked up TONS of information and since I have become disabled I realized that tons of places I visited could benefit from the installation of aquariums and so I created a Facebook page to archive my PLETHORA of knowledge in order to gain the trust of the office administrator/business owner so they would take my advice and purchase an aquarium or two….
