About Yourself:
I got into the hobby by accident. I was stupid enough to win a goldfish in a fair prize, with no experience of fish keeping. Even though this goldfish passed away, I continued to research how to care for fish as I wanted to know how I could keep these amazing animals alive.
My first tank (15 gallons) wasn't very good. It had all your run of the mill fish (guppies, tetras etc). However one day I came across a goby - who I found out to be a Lentipes multiradiatus - and I became addicted to them. I now have a hillstream biotope with all manner of gobies.
I also have a 15 gallon blackwater biotope as I found out I also love Corie's! It is hard to say if I prefer gobies or Corie's. They're both great.
Finally I have a 5 gallon lightly planted tank for the Lentipes I mentioned earlier. It is very special to me as it was the 'gateway' to discovering a whole manner of awesome fish.

Few experiences in the aquarium hobby are as heart-stopping as looking into your tank during feeding time, counting fins, and realizing one of your favorite fish is missing, only to discover it squeezed into a perilous gap behind the filter or wedge-pinned behind a heavy resin castle.
For decades, freshwater aquarium salt has been hailed as a staple remedy in the fishkeeping community, often passed down from experienced hobbyists as a universal cure-all for sick, stressed, or newly acquired fish.
