What’s an interest of yours you don’t get to talk about very much? Could be a hobby, a niche piece of media you like, an animal or era of history you're obsessed with. Anything! How did you get into it? What do you like about it?

If you asked me this two days ago, I would have said Critical Role or something. But you asked me this today, and I am currently going insane about fish again.

I've talked about my fish hobby here two or three times, but not enough, so now I will subject people to it once more!

I need this in my life so badly. I tried once before and it failed miserable but now I'm smarter and stronger and wiser and know more about substrate i could do it. i BET I COULD .

Anyway to actually answer your questions, I love freshwater fish and aquascaping! I got into it back in college; one of my friends was always into it via her dad having an aquarium, and she offered go to a pet store with me and get some fish. I had no interest before, but I jumped into it and never went back!

I like it because it feels so much like an art form. Picking the right colored sand to compliment the rocks or wood, and then picking fish that contrast that. All based on whatever best fits the parameters, ofc. Always looking for ways to make it better, more balanced, etc. Every tank is so unique to the owner.

And also the simple joy of keeping something alive and happy :) Learning about different fish breeds personalities and the different ways they interact with me or each other. Its usually very subtle but some breeds are so expressive and I love them <3
