About Yourself:
I had a severe phobia of fish since I was 10 years old, and a peacock eel jumped out of a tank and onto me. It scared me to death! I couldn't even walk through the fish section at a pet store without having a panic attack! Last year I took my kids to the public aquarium (after much begging and crying) and thought to myself I would just walk in the middle and not pay too much attention. I was terrified. But by the end of the day, I was fascinated! I wasn't scared anymore, and a couple months later, I set up my first tank, a 10 gallon, which I still have and all the fish are happy and healthy. Now I'm not scared at all, (at first I was still a little leery) and I'll even feed my mollies right from my fingers. It's so cool!

Setting up a new aquarium is an exercise in restraint that many hobbyists, both beginners and seasoned veterans, find difficult to master.
For decades, the gold standard of the home aquarium was a pristine, crystal-clear box of water, often decorated with neon gravel and plastic plants that bore little resemblance to the wild.
Bringing a slice of the underwater world into your home is a rewarding experience, but as the hobby grows, so does our responsibility to ensure that our passion doesn’t come at the expense of the environments we admire.
