Hey there,
I am new to fish and am just starting my first freshwater tank (20 Gallon) I'm learning a lot of information thanks to this forum.
A little background:
Never thought of myself as a fish person and I never even really looked in the aquarium section at the pet stores, but my 5 year old son wanted a fish tank because his friend has one, so in February we began a reward system where he collected marbles for good deeds like saying please and thank you, being nice to his little brother etc. After 4 months he completely filled his marble jar and was still dead set on getting a fish tank. So we took him down to the LFS where he spent about 2 hours looking at the fish, and I found I was as interested as he was (who knew?). We took a couple more trips and talked to a lot of people and finally came home with a 20 gallon tank and a couple of plants, a piece of driftwood and a plastic human skull that my 5 year old insisted on buying. We are now just starting to add some fish and have 3 Zebra Danio's in a couple weeks we'll add 3 more. After that maybe a BN Pleco and a Betta.
This forum has been a great source of information for me over the last little while and I'm looking to learn as much as possible. Thank you all for the questions you've asked and for the answers provided.
I look forward to participating more in the future.
Jay
