StephenP2003 Posted July 16, 2020 Share Posted July 16, 2020 It's hot. And humid. I was gung-ho about doing an outdoor pond in the beginning of COVID quarantine, but I'm glad I held off, because I remembered how much it sucks to go outside right now. Anyways, I'm Stephen (pronounced Steven, not Steffen). I'm 35 years old and work for a large tech firm (remotely). I have a wife, two kids, two dogs, two cats, and seven aquariums. Started this hobby super-casually when I was in my early 20s, took a long break, and dove back in hardcore last August. All the money I used to spend building/upgrading gaming PCs now goes to fish keeping -- it's a better addiction that my wife wholeheartedly supports and enables, and one which I've forced upon my kids (they love their respective aquariums, but they won't be watching a fishtube livestream anytime soon). Right now I'm at the stage of the hobby where I just want to have all the fishes, so I have settled on a bunch of community tanks and breeding livebearers and cherry shrimp (aka putting them in a tank and letting them reproduce in spite of me). I'll upload pics of my tanks soon I'm sure. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers I have always thought Stephen's member photo was my favorite of all! I smile every time I see it. And now that I have gotten to know him a bit through the forum, the photo seems very fitting 😃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randy Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Welcome, @StephenP2003! Hmm, at what point do we not want to keep all the fish! 🤣 Looking forward to seeing your tank photos and a future outdoor pond. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
