Fish Page

I have been keeping aquarium fish on and off for over thirty years. It started with a 10-gallon tank my parents set up and I took over maintenance as a teenager. I later added a “huge” 15-gallon tank.

For a while I drifted to reptiles, keeping iguanas and green anoles, but I have since returned to fish. Below is a list of fish I have kept as an adult.
