How Just Fishkeeping Started
“Hi, I’m James. Ever since I first chewed my parents’ ears off about getting a goldfish when I was 5, I’ve been hooked on pet fish.
Over the years, I’ve kept so many fish that I’ve simply lost count. In fact, this website’s been inspired by ‘Dopey,’ my first-ever fish. I called him that because he was so mellow, he’d float and swim into all the plants and decorative features in the tank. He was the friendliest fish I’ve ever known, despite his ‘aggressive’ cichlid genes.
Having spent my life keeping fish and learning what I know through trial and error, I’m ready to share my knowledge with you in order to answer all your pet fish questions. Please browse through the site to learn all you need to know – I hope you enjoy it.”
