mountaintoppufferkeeper Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) 2007 ..... doing my wounded warrior appointments while getting set for discharge..... and buying live plants and killie eggs. Wow does time go fast. Funny that the first purchase to get back in the hobby was some live plants. Java moss I believe and Austrolebias nigripinnis. A good stress reliever between life back then.

PineSong Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 That’s neat to see your “olden days”. I’m glad you were able to return to the hobby at a time when you needed peace. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chick-In-Of-TheSea Posted August 6, 2022 Share Posted August 6, 2022 (edited) Agreed! A great stress reliever! I’m studying for my CPA exams. There are 4 that I have to take in an 18 month period, otherwise the oldest ones expire, one by one, and I’d have to retake them. So. much. material. 😬🤯 Aquascaping, watching fish, and raising snails has helped me with relaxation in this stressful time.

Becker books helped me back in the day. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountaintoppufferkeeper Posted August 6, 2022 Author Share Posted August 6, 2022 @_Eric_ @Chick-In-Of-TheSea thanks it was a fun time. I though it was neat to share the first purchases on the return to the hobby. I set up in plastic containers from walmart in my room with a cheaper airpump and some light bubbles for circluation. I forgot that even back then I was doing live plants in small containers for water quality and microfoods to help feed the fish fry when they got hatched 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
