About Me

Welcome to my website about aquariums and the fish hobby! I am thrilled to have the opportunity to share my passion for all things aquatic with you. My name is Grant and I have been a fish hobbyist for the past 34 years. That’s right, 34 years of fishkeeping experience under my belt!

My Journey with Aquariums

It all started when I was a young boy, and my parents brought home a small aquarium. I was immediately captivated by the beautiful fish swimming around in their underwater world. From that moment on, I knew that I wanted to have my own aquarium one day.

Fast forward a few years, and I finally got my own tank. It was a small freshwater tank, but I loved it nonetheless. I spent countless hours watching the fish swim around, and I even started experimenting with different setups and decorations.

As I got older, my love for fishkeeping only grew stronger. I started exploring more advanced setups, including saltwater tanks. My favorite fish to keep in saltwater tanks are clownfish. There’s just something about their vibrant colors and playful personalities that I find so captivating.

Over the years, I have owned many different species of fish, both saltwater and freshwater. Each one has brought its own unique personality and beauty to my tanks.

Exploring Freshwater Tanks and Live Plants

Recently, I have been exploring freshwater tanks and growing live aquarium plants. I have to say, I am thoroughly enjoying this new adventure. Freshwater tanks offer a different kind of beauty than saltwater tanks, and I find myself drawn to the lush greenery of live plants.

I have been experimenting with different types of plants and learning about the best ways to care for them. It’s been an exciting journey, and I look forward to sharing what I’ve learned with all of you.

 

Introducing the Hobby to My Family

One of the things that I love most about the aquarium hobby is how it brings people together. That’s why I am thrilled to be introducing the hobby to my young son and wife. It’s been so rewarding to watch them learn and grow alongside me.

My son is particularly fascinated by the fish, and he loves to help me feed them and clean the tanks. I hope that one day, he will develop the same passion for fishkeeping that I have.

Why I Created This Website

I created this website as a way to share my passion for the aquarium hobby with others. Over the years, I have learned so much about fishkeeping, and I wanted to create a platform where I could share my knowledge with others.

I believe that fishkeeping is a wonderful and rewarding hobby, and I want to help others discover that for themselves.
